Even then it is slower Jeroen.

the default wcrafty.exe at bob's site is the intel c++ 6.0 compiler
which is of course NOT going to make a fast executable for
the K7. Instead it is slower than any other compiler at the K7 is.

Not to mention gcc 3.1 which has special K7 optimizations AND branch
prediction reordering.

Obviously with a million dollar you could buy a cool 4 processor McKinley
system or so. Each CPU already gets like 1.5 million nodes a second
for crafty (at 1 Ghz a cpu).
