I don't think that Ikarus is a weak program. It is fast and did
very well at the IPCCC in February.
Centaur uses an experimental, probably knowledgebase algorithm that
makes it slow (200-1000 nps on a PII 450) and obviously vulnerable.
Both are amateurs and it is not fair to compare them to professional
programs.
