Well, is it generally accepted that Hsu's program is as good or better than
the top commercial programs? In other words who's to say that Hiarcs 7.0 on
comparable hardware wouldn't beat DB in a match? It is my understanding that
DB's strength is largely owed to tremendous paralell processing power that
enabled it to calculate up to 200,000,000 pos/sec.
