Well actually the one I release is optimized for the PII/III/IV lines of
processors. I build myself a completely different one optimized for my system
(Changes within Crafty's variables, and settings) It is possible that you are
just using different options to compile. This is the makefile I use for the exe
I distribute:

# Makefile version 3 for Crafty 16.15
# Crafty v16.x makefile for Windows NT Intel
# Written by Jason Deines (jdeines@mindspring.com) April 1998
# Version modified by Gregor Overney (gregor_overney@hp.com) Nov 1998
# Version modified by Peter Karrer (pkarrer@active.ch) Dec 1998

# This makefile is designed to be used from the command line with
# Microsoft's nmake.  Either rename this # file to "Makefile" or name it
# explicitly when invoking nmake:
#     nmake -f Makefile.nt
#
# The makefile is set up for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Intel.
#
# The default target produces a file called "wcrafty.exe".  This compiles
# all the .c files separately, producing individual .obj files, which are
# then linked to create the executable.  You can also specify a target
# called "wcraftyx".  This creates a file called "wcraftyx.exe" by combining
# all of the .c files into two large .c files before the compile step.
# The large files generally provides more optimization possibilities for
# the compiler, and usually results in slightly faster code.  To try it,
# type "nmake wcraftyx" instead of just "nmake".  The .c files x1.c and x2.c
# will be created if needed and built automatically.


# Build target is defined here.
TARGET   = NT_i386

# Command-line compiler and linker invocation commands:
CC       = cl
LD       = link

# Base compiler flags needed for build:
BFLAGS = /D_CONSOLE /DWIN32

# Compiler flags:
# /O2    optimize for speed
# /Oa    assume no aliasing (no good for VC 6 without SP3)
# /Gr    fastcall calling convention
# /G5    target Pentium (but will run on all x86 architectures)
# /G6    target Pentium Pro (but will run on all x86 architectures)
# /Ob2   inline function calls if suitable
#
# For debugging use these flags instead:
# CFLAGS  = /Od /Zi
# LDFLAGS  = /DEBUG /DEBUGTYPE:CV
#

#CFLAGS   = /O2 /G6 /Gr /Ob2
#CFLAGS   = /Od /Zi
CFLAGS   = /Ox /G6 /Gr /Ob2 /DEPD /DTOXIC /DFUTILITY

# Linker flags, normally not needed except for debug builds:
LDFLAGS  =
#LDFLAGS  = /DEBUG /DEBUGTYPE:CV

# See the default crafty makefile for a description of the options below.
# With VC++, defines like COMPACT_ATTACKS, etc, makes the code slower, so
# those # options are disabled by default.  FAST is normally not defined
# so that hash statistics are reported -- for the fastest possible
# executable, define FAST below.  for 6 piece EGTB support, add /DEGTB6.

COPTS    = /DFAST /DEGTB6

# For an SMP build use/add the following build options.
# NT_INTEREX is defined if you want to use the built-in InterlockedExchange()
# function for thread resource locking, instead of the inline asm routine.
# (This shouldn't be needed, at least on Intel.)
# /MT is a compiler flag needed for multithreaded builds.

#COPTS    = /MT /DSMP /DCPUS=4 /DNT_INTEREX
#COPTS    = /MT /DSMP /DCPUS=2

I copy all the c nodes into one main x1.c then compile and it produces a faster
exe in my testing. The default is 2 c nodes, then a compile. Maybe your doing it
differently than I am.
