Uniform hardware can be also quad opteron and does not need to be a single
processor.

Comparison of programs when every program gets the best hardware that it can
use(unfortunately it is not the case even in WCCC otherwise Falcon and other
single processor programs could probably use opteron250) is also not meaningless
and the fact that many programs cannot use more than a single processor is
disadvantage of the software.
