Richard lang dominated for many year but after having Genius3 he stopped to work on his program(later genius were near the same strength). It took other programmers years to get to the same level so there was no improvement or almost no improvement from Genius3 until 1997 In spite of it I think that more than 20% of the improvement is software improvement. Genius3 is proabably more than 200 elo weaker than shredder8 on the same hardware (even if you give it no tablebases and a small book) and the improvement in software from P90 to the hardware of today is less than 400 elo.
