Subject: Why does the Chess Genius programs play strong on 486 machines?

Could someone give me a technical reason why Chess genius plays so much better
on 486 machines than all the other programs. I have been pleasantly surprised by
results against others programs running on much faster hardware (pent pro 200).
These results have been so surprising that I have decided not to upgrade to a
pent. Among the victims of genius 5 on 486, is crafty 15.8 running on mmx233,
Rebel 9 (pent pro 200) and CM555 (pent mmx233) all the games were played at game
in 30. I realize that statistically i am suppose to win some of the games, but i
have been winning almost half!!, against much faster machines. However when i
play my rebel 9 on the 486 it never wins, but draws often.
