I completely agree with this. What is the point of program X running on a 2.4
GHz machine against program Y which is running on a Quad? Does the result show
that program Y has better eval? better search? Nothing. It just shows that
program Y can run over its opponent like a freight train. I think WMCCC events
will be more interesting and more meaningful from a scientific point of view.
