Subject: Tortoise or Hare?

Given the the present trend of processor speed doubling every couple of years
and the advent of endgame tablebases who do you think will benefit the most,
the knowledge based programs or the tactically fast programs? I've read in
some of the software reviews about certain programs being deficient in the
endgame, wouldn't tablebases correct this? And would it benefit the fast
searchers to calculate 2-3 ply deeper if a knowledge based program gains an
extra ply? Imo I think those programs with the best middlegame will eventually
win the race.
