I have watched shredder and Ferret play for many months. They are probably in the same ballpark quality-wise. Except that Ferret is 3x faster with the parallel search. In a match, I'd personally pick ferret, and the longer the match, the more I'd be willing to bet, because 3x speed advantage is way-non-trivial... That was my point. Not that Shredder is 'bad' at all. Just that Ferret is just as good on equal hardware (IMHO) and with 3x the hardware it is _very difficult_ to handle.
