The scalability study showed that mogo gains almost 100 rating points per doubling of performance.
But on CGOS, there is mogo 1 CPU and mogo 4 CPU. I would expect the 4 CPU mogo to be 150 rating points or more higher than 1 CPU. But it is actually only 40 points higher. I guess this is because in the rating study mogo was mostly playing other mogo versions. A the faster mogo can see everything the weaker mogo sees, and more. But against other programs on CGOS, there will be weaknesses common to both fast and slow mogo, that other programs might exploit. Is the true scalability of mogo (against a variety of programs, or against people) less than the rating study indicates?
