I must admit that I cannot answer your question, because I do not use The King outside of the CM GUI. But recently, I was into a discussion about The King being slower in it's own (CM) GUI - and it turned out, that the reason was the GUI setup (in other words, which options were chosen in Chessmaster). I think this has been discussed here before, but some time ago. If (a) the "Chessmaster" checkbox in the Thinking lines window is *not* checked (only white or black), and (b) the "Visual Thinking" windows is *not* used, then The King's performance must be at least equal than in other GUIs. The options (a), and also (b) if I'm not wrong, would start a TheKing.exe task of their own, which runs parallel to the engine which plays the game, slowing it down a lot (the SSDF had this problem too and they had to restart their CM8K test run because of that).
