A question: You are running on an AMD64 box. Why in the world would you use a 32 bit version of Crafty? It would be at least 25% faster in 64 bit mode.

Hi Bob,

at present my efforts are directed towards the 32-bit 1CPU engines, mainly because it gives me a wider variety of engines to test.
At some stage, I'll of course switch over to 64-bit.

Cheers,
Graham.
