Frankly, I can't even begin to understand such testing. You take an engine that
has been especially modified to run on a multiple CPU environment, and
deliberately make it play on one CPU, and expect to draw conclusions from this?
Might as well test Deep Junior running on a 4-way box, and plain vanilla
single-CPU Shredder also running on a 4-way box, and claim that Shredder (not
Deep) doesn't play especially well with 4 CPUs.
To put it bluntly, it's retarded.
