Subject: Uneven Computer Hardware Matches

I have to wonder how useful it is to compare Fritz6 on a Pentium 3-700
vs. Chess Genius 2.0 on a Pentium 166!
I suppose that one can calculate that the score difference should be
12-3 and then compare the actual result, but isn't that like taking
a high school track star and having him run the 100-meter vs. Carl Lewis
but giving Carl Lewis a 15 meter head start?

I would prefer to see results of various programs on equal hardware.
Isn't that more to the point?
