If this is your expectation then you can be disappointed because the last 4
programs even did not use a fast single processor machine and only used a slow
Pentium4 2.8 ghz.

Deep Sjeng also did not use more than one processor inspite of the fact that the
program is capable of doing it.

David Omid did not suggest to dumb down the event and as far as I understand he
already have a program to support more than one processor but did not have the
right hardware.
