Hi,

Here is some data, each result measured over about 200 games, on a 
single CPU (AMD Opteron 2.2 GHz):
9x9, 2 minutes per game, GNU Go level 10: 87.0%
13x13, 16 minutes per game, GNU Go level 10: 72.4%
19x19, 32 minutes per game, GNU Go level 0: 53.6%
19x19, 32 minutes per game, GNU Go level 8: 28.1%
19x19, 64 minutes per game, GNU Go level 8: 35.4%

(GNU Go version 3.6)
