I actually find the Crafty 17.14 version very slow, and results are proving that possibly something might be wrong. In a match vs RoboElvis(C) on FICS using Crafty 17.14 on a dual PII 300, vs my Gambit Tiger on a PIII 500, I scored 81W-15L-30D, this is rare, as usually Roboelvis destroys me. When he uses Crafty 17.13, the win% is lower, and way more draws. >And that incurs a penalty I don't mind, because I can pick up that factor of two >with the right hardware... Crafty used to be a brute. What is the explanation as to why it has fallen behind so far? Not to say really far, but it seems to be having more problems with commercial programs than before.
