Crafty might. DIEP is different case.
DIEP hardly gets 10 ply. not to mention 12-14 ply.

If you get in blitz 6 or 7 ply, then you lose to a beginner, because
he can tactical trick you.

When getting like 10 ply i'm sure we don't complain anymore about
being some faster or slower.

Yet getting in a crucial position 6 ply will completely give away
the game, which makes the difference then very big.

Of course for programs like fritz this discussion doesn't make sense
as it gets at any hardware like 10 ply anyway.
