Uri - Uri - Uri !

my replies make ALWAYS sense.

do you know the difference between speed and velocity ??

the programs have a different velocity !

That means: some programs reach their maximal playing strength earlier then
others.

Thats the same with cars.

if you have a car that drives 190 Km/h and another one that can drive the same
max-speed,
they can have different velocities.

The fritz car is faster at 100 km/h but then it needs longer to reach 190. maybe
it has no spoiler and the wind is a problem.

the rebel/hiarcs car needs longer to come to 100 km/h but then it capable to
drive as fast as the fritz car.

of course all programs profit from faster cpu's. but all programs profit in a
different way from it.
