Could you explain that to me? This is not against logic. I cannot explain it because I do not understand much about computers but computers are build in a different way and I know from experience that it is truth also for other programs. Crafty on p800 is about 10 times faster than Crafty on p200MMX when Junior on p800 is only about 5 times faster than Junior on p200MMX. It is only an estimate based on watching the nodes per second on both computers. I did not do experiments to find the exact numbers but the idea is clear. Uri
