1) Shouldn't computer strenght it rather be measured on "average" entry-level
computers.. i.e. the ones actually used by the majority of people?

2) Also.. do programs benefit in the same way from higher speed and increased
hash tables? If not, tests would not be comparable, therefore useless.

3) Why are books used in tests? Shouldn't a top level computer program be
capable of doing at least decently in the opening phase *without* resorting to
it's book? If the answer is no.. then it could be easily beaten by even
lower-performing computers by having it systematically go out of book. Or am I
wrong?
