Zappa does appear to be very, very strong, but exactly how strong it is will be
seen only when it's released to the general public and can be tested under equal
conditions (either as a single cpu version or a multi-processor version, playing
other engines that are not handicapped by lack of strong HW).

It seems that Zappa's release is imminent though :-)

My prediction is that it will have to do much better than in the short events
such as the WCCC or Leiden to show that's better than Deep Shredder on a fast
dual or quad box, or even stronger than the new SMP Gandalf, for that matter.
Not to mention the new kid on the block which is getting ready to go SMP,
Fruit...

In any case, we will soon be having lots of fun :-)
