What is the hardware's specification?

[Dschmitt]

Nothing spectacular right now. AMD A8-3530MX OC'd to 2.2 GHZ (Llano chip not Trinity). For a clearer picture, if I were running a CCRL 40/40 tourney I would normalize my time to 40 moves in 30 minutes or so based on the crafty benchmark instructions they have.

Had a crash mid round, think it erased a game.

You should be able to sort that out though. Have you looked at the tournament database file?

[Dschmitt]

Turns out critter crashed vs spike. The game is restarted and going on now. How do tourneys usually handle program or machine crashes?

In different ways.
Usually with Fritz, if an engine fails to load, the tournament stops.
If you stop your tournament at any stage, you should be able to right click on a game in the tournament database and replay the game by entering the result as blank.
