Unfortunately, I do not have specific benchmarks for Crafty, because I got involved with Chess programming about 4 months ago, and I was already using XP exclusively at this point. But I would imagine that the performance improvement compared to Win2K would be very insignifant especially if the program is written correctly (i.e. does not constantly allocate and deallocate memory). I am guessing that areas that might see improvement are things like in low-memory conditions "forcing" everything else out of memory efficiently to make sure that the chess program does not start using the pagefile (which would be horrible, of course). But again, I am just theoretically concluding this from the kernel enhancements that I read about. Artem P.S. Yes, I do speak Russian... My name definitely gives away my origin :)
