HARD finally outruns the runner

Browse Source 
Oliver benchmarked HARD against the game's own roster: "the runner in zombie
mode is way faster than the regular player in hard" — and the numbers agreed.
The RUNNER covers 6.15 m/s (racketSpeed x rung x foe.speed) with no reaction
gate; HARD's classic CPU did 5.59, only after its 0.22 s read, and ambled
back to centre at HALF speed between shots — that recovery jog was the free
points. HARD now moves 4.3 x 1.5 = 6.45 m/s, and DIFFS grows `recover`: the
between-shots factor, 0.85 on HARD where the shipped 0.5 stays pinned on
MEDIUM. Wrong-footing him still works; strolling him side to side no longer
does.
