For crafty (in the crafty.rc file or on the command line):

ponder=off
hash=12M
hashp=4M

and go from there.  You really don't want to turn book randomness off, as
crafty will play the same opening every time, which is not very good except
in (maybe) tournaments, which is where I use it mainly.

Note that if you run crafty from xboard/winboard, ponder=off won't work, you
have to look up the winboard option to disable pondering.
