I suspected the same.. so.. I did a few tests. The test was done using infinite
analysis from the start position. The ply next to the name of the engine is
where I took the total node count and divided it by the time to ply.
Here are the results:

Athlon XP 2.5GHz and 384mb hash for all engines:

Shredder 8 @ 18 ply:
218fsb: 409kn/s
166fsb: 409kn/s

X3D Fritz @ 15 ply:
218fsb: 1116.9kn/s
166fsb: 1116.9kn/s

Hiarcs 9 @ 13 ply:
218fsb: 275.35kn/s
166fsb: 269.23kn/s

Junior 8 @ 17 ply:
218fsb: 1999.54kn/s
166fsb: 1987.98kn/s

Deep Fritz 7 @ 15 ply:
218fsb: 1144.69kn/s
166fsb: 1129.83kn/s

As you can see a higher fsb (and lower latency) did next to nothing.
ShredderMark definitely has some problems.
