I found that in the following position:

r4rk1/2p3pp/p7/1p1pq3/8/2P2N2/PPQ2KPP/R1B5 white to move

Fritz5.16 is significantly faster than fritz5 in avoiding kg1 that is losing
after Rxf3(I do not know about fritz5.03 because I did not download this update)

Fritz5 needed more than an hour when fritz5.16 needs less than 15 minutes on my
pentium200MMX

The ply numbers are not important
It is possible that the ply number take longer because the program sees more in
low plies.

I do not know if the upgrade is productive or counter productive in tournament
time control
