Since most long-time programs are known on slower hardware, and you have to have one known entity, it seems most probable that the new program in question will get the fast hardware on the first go-round. I suspect that there are a few exceptions. But when you think about it, and there is a single slow and a single fast machine available, there is only one logical choice. While it might be 'fun' to pit the new program on slow hardware against a known program on the fast hardware, nothing about the ratings would be learned.
