It is significantly faster... IE on my 4 processor ALR machine, it is running about 3X-3.2X faster average, which is another ply. On dual processor machines, it is running 1.75-1.9X faster, which is close to another ply. Roman has mentioned that it feels "much stronger" (his words, talking about "moron" on ICC, crafty running on a dual PII/333 machine) at bullet chess and blitz chess. I've run quite a few tests with it... and it now gets 298/300 win at chess in 10 seconds, for one result... most are too easy anyway, as they are found in 0 seconds by most programs... but the 10 second mark is not bad...
