I don't think it's odd.
First, the good performance of CM is simply explained by the number of tested
personalities. I tested about 200. 195 did not make it into the Top 20.
Secondly, Shredder seems far behind, but that is misleading, since this specific
list contains multiple versions of the same engine. Basically, the Top 6 engines
looks like this:

1	CM10k Schumacher	2835	377
2	Deep Fritz 7		2815	1816
3	Hiarcs 9		2802	1044
4	Ruffian         	2781	323
5	Chess Tiger 14.0	2780	3246
6	Shredder 8		2778	963

Shredder lost horribly to CM Schumacher, so it dropped quite a bit; it will
probably recover to get back to Rank 4, just behind Hiarcs 9. Also, Shreder is
not the best Blitzer, it performs much better at longer time-controls.
