No.  If you double the size of the hardware you only end up with a box twice as
big.  However if you double the speed of the hardware you will generally get
twice as many Nodes/sec.
Seriously the programs themselves vary greatly in reported positions/sec.  For
example on my XP2400+ (2Ghz)  Hiarcs 9 runs around 250Knps while Junior 8 runs
at over 1 million Nps.  Both not exact of cours just off the top of my bonehead.
