I have tested two different versions of Crafty-19.19 using my Athlon 64 3400+:

- Under 32-bit Windows XP the fastest version I could find in the Internet
(among about 8 different executables) runs at an average of about 1.5 million
NPS and has reached a maximum of 1.7 MNPS.

- Under 64-bit Gentoo Linux it runs at an average of 2.2 million NPS and has
reached a maximum of 2.48 MNPS.

The increase in speed is 40~50%.

I hope this helps
