Beneath the truly fact that the number of given games is too low
it is possible that F7 was not tested/tuned for the older F5.32
but does much better against other programs.
Another plausible reason may be that F5.32 perhaps is really "better"
in fast games(especially on not actually hardware)than F7 because it is
quite a lot faster in Kn/s.
I just tested it again and got around 530 kn/s for the start position
when I got around 290 kn/s for F7.006 (all after around 1 min * IE 5.5 open
on a "slow" PIII650 both with 32MB hash)
