The SSDF list only uses consumer-grade technology to test programs. Programs tuned to that limited technology will always top that list. That is why the list is of limited importance. A real WCCC is going to attract high performance projects, not just consumer oriented projects. This is what the New World has always offered. But, Old Worlders have a problem with that I guess.
