My last comment would be at 2' game hash could be a lot lower than 16 mb, which
would also help. As low as maybe 2 mb, tts=2097152,  ttu=3.

Only CMFun games I ever ran at fast controls were these;

However now as by your statements it don't lose on time with wb2uci then maybe
it's time to run some CM engines in my lightning lists.
