You might take also results from other testers into consideration.

I certainly didn't wrote that your tests are poor and humble.

Yace 0.99.56 is probably stronger than Yace Paderborn at short time controls.
See also here: http://www.computerschach.de/rangliste/rangliste.htm
and here: http://www.computerschach.de/rangliste/Ranglisten%202002.htm

At longer time controls it could be vice versa.
