just suggesting a refinement to get a more accurate estimate of how much we
can expect to lose going to the mobile phone platform.  My refinement is
more appropriate for what to expect when porting a GO program to the mobile
platform.

Trying to extrapolate what I know from your data and the "rybka adjustment",
you get this:  As a general rule of thumb,  if you port your go program to a
mobile platform you will get the same performance that you would get if you
played on the PC at a time control 6 or 7 times faster.      So for example
if you set your program to play a game in 3 minutes on the Q6600 platform
and other programs are playing 20 minute games, you should come relatively
close to what you can expect on the mobile platform.

They probably took the program that was easiest and most sensible to port.
I believe Hiarcs is  32 bit program which will port to mobile phone hardware
with the least amount of ELO loss.   A 64 bit program would take an
additional hit in performance being ported to 32 bit hardware.
