Fuego will not create complex semeais and har read ishi-no-shita nakade shapes i.e opponent that puts no pressure to known problems . So you prove that agains opponent who does not play like human you do scale. But you advance the ladder of human players these small issues tend pop-up more often.
Scaling measurement against strong humans is obviously bit hard. Just about only thing is letting different CPU machines play in KGS. Yes I do believe that pachi/Fuego will play better given more time. But It would scale better if there were better algorithm in place and part of that extra CPU would be used there. Just that exactly what to for it is bit murky. So I don't think that we get to 6 Dan EGF (8-9 Dan KGS?) with current programs just adding memory and CPU. Petri
