Which difference do you mean?! Of course the idea with 8 computers is meant to
play 40/2h games too... but you can play four 40/2 games *at the same time* with
8 computers. IOW, paralllel, with 4 * 2 comps each. No change of time control.
By that, you won't need 40x the time of one game for 40 games, but only 10x the
time...
