It would only be possible for linear progress, The progress from 0.98 to 2.2.1 is an advancement of 300 Elo, which means: 6 doublings in strength in two years, or a doubling in strength every 4 months. Another advancement of 150 Elo will not be too hard for Fabien. In fact, I am quite sure that he can to it. It means 3 more doublings in strength -- once every 8 months. >but >this doesnt exist. It is known that there is no connection between the start and >the period after having 2500 or 2600. Must have been clear to you. Speaking of a >"will" is mere fantasy. Not at all. It is only effort. Fruit is not a huge chess program (hence, the inertia for improvements is low) and is superbly written. His clear thinking is very evident in his code. He has not incorporated learning or SMP yet, both of which are obvious additions. It would not astonish me if he picked up 300 Elo instead of 150. He will advance as far as he wants to.
