I have a feeling that a lot of eval slows progs down, so they won't search deep
enough, unless you have sufficent hardware. And I belive you are putting in more
and more eval into the Crafty, so on a slow PC ( AMD K6 200 or => )you are
better of with an older version. But perhaps I'm just wrong! :)
