For example CM6K on slower hardware. Similar to running Carl Lewis at his best over 100 metres against the best disabled runner in the world. two people running, but one with a handicap. not really fair now is it :( Just because you have a whole lot of todays programs playing each other. Does not make it the strongest. I take very little from these results thankyou. Only if it is a fair match up will I then take the results more seriously.
