The current "bring any weapon you want" is >totally meaningless for comparison of programs running on different hardware. 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.
