What were the software improvements? Were they related to the code distributing the work, or to the actual game playing/move selection code?

From what I gather.. Kim believed it was 2 or 3 Dan? I guess this is because a 9 stone handi starts to make the stone per rank estimation get a bit fuzzy. It is mentioned that there was a software improvement. I wonder how much the software improvement made up for the reduction in processing power since it seems to have stayed approximately the same rank. Or could it mean that dividing the computation strength by 5 did not change the relative strength of Mogo by much?
