No, I did not, nor do I plan to. There are a couple of more or less credible
reasons for that decision.

1) Most of the engines that implement the technical specifications as mentioned
by Chessbase get reasonable performance. Possible (likely) shortcomings are too
advanced to explain for a nonexpert like myself.

2) Some people would like to use the engines under their favourite CB GUI
instead of WinBoard with or without performance problems.

That aside, I might add a line mentioning that the optimal GUI for WinBoard
engines is WinBoard when it comes to performance. If you want to go on a crusade
you'll have to make your own page I'm afraid.
