What did you do in cray blitz that you believe that you cannot do on 486/33
because of speed?

I mean to things that you think that the price in term of speed is more than
being 10 times slower because I assume that Crafty can hit at least 1000 nodes
per second on 486(I have not 486 to test so it is only a guess).
