Subject: Crafty's new or old?

Having just overclocked my P166MMX to 200mhz, :>)
I ran a couple of benchmarks using Crafty's built-in bench command,
to confirm an increase in speed of around 18%. :>))
what I didnt expect was the large speed difference between
the 2 versions (17.5 and 17.8), so I checked another 3 versions
and got the following results:-

 Version      Total Nodes       Nodes per Second      Time (seconds)

  16.6          74,921,651          63,118                       1187
  17.5          87,931,266          79,720                       1103
  17.6          70,362,201          60,138                       1170
  17.7          72,591,308          61,413                       1182
  17.8          72,591,308          61,206                       1186

 interesting,  it appears that the last 3 versions share the same results,
but 17.5 is 30% quicker,  cancelling out the larger number of total
nodes searched and returning with the best time.

Im sure this will have been discussed before on the forum, but  i'm kinda
new here and  I am just interested  if the latest version is the finest,  or are
there some real gems hiding in proff. Hyatt's ftp.

All benches were run using identical settings and 16Mb 0f HASH :>)
