I'm more interested in making Singular Extensions to work better in Crafty, but
I've had no time to tune them at all.  Hopefully I should be able to minimize
the time loss but still keep most of the gains.

How many NPS does it see on that machine?  I usually get only about 100-150KN/s
(with any version of Crafty).  If you're getting, say, 500KN/s on that machine,
then it's probably about 4x as fast as mine.

I think if they're tuned properly, it should be faster for both things with SE.
At least in theory it should be... I'm not sure if I can make it work, but I
will try.
