So that I can follow this discussion, how would be the "kgs level" of this 
player (it is the only level I have access to when looking at the results of 
game)?

Yes you are right. For MoGo it is even worst. As all the games we have to play 
in are short games, we did not at all "optimize" the memory use, and in fact 
MoGo a lot more memory than necessary. I am not totally sure, but I think 
even 1 minute/move is already too much :). Of course, we can be more carefull 
with memory usage, but for the moment it is not the higher priority.

I think this is a interesting point. I think I agree with that law :).
