I can add that sjeng can search clearly deeper in the middle game based on the
following post.

I know that the hardware is better and that sjeng is an older version and the
positions are different but still sjeng could get depth 8 in a few seconds.

I suspect that your celeron was slowed down by a significant factor so sjeng did
not enjoy from a significant speed advantage that the celeron should give it.
