There is no reason to do it because I see no reason for players to play with
Deep Shredder in a single processor for rating list except if they hate stefan
and want shredder to look bad and to look really weaker than it is.

Maybe it is better if programmers do not allow deep versions to use only single
processor and buyers of deep versions will get only non deep version that they
can use in single processor machines.
