in my opinion to have a score based on processing time even tho you
are doing the testing on your machine 25 times or whatever i believe
it is unfair. The coder of the application may be inclined to use
certain techniques that run better , say on one of the latest
processors with hyperthreading or a myriad of other possibilities. How
is someone not running the equivelant to your testing machine suppose
to account for this testing / implementation of speed in algorithm to
score in this contest??
