On my dual p6/200, I see more than 90% improvement when running 'bench' on two
processors (mt=2). I assume you do not have any background tasks running that
require a lot of CPU cycles. Did you recompile 16.8 using /Ox /G6 /Gr /DCPU=2
/MT /DSMP /DVC_INLINE_ASM? I have noticed that /Oa is counterproductive if I
applied it for the whole Crafty source. So I do not use it (although it's
working now).

Just to make sure, you are using SP3 for VC++6. Right?
