Shredder played H7.32 during my preperation for Paderborn quite a bit.
In total Shredder scored 60% out of 63 30 minutes games.
Shredder was running on my tournament machine (PIII-550) whereas Hiarcs only
used a PIII-500. I do not want to publish the games so I have no proof for that.
If you don't believe that I am very sorry for spreading rumors in your opinion.

In Paderborn Hiarcs was running on a PIII-550 XEON, which is according to the
Hiarcs operator 20% faster than my machine.
