It might be that Yace is actually a lot faster internally but has more bugs in the evaluation, or that it's evaluation isn't as well tuned, or that the search isn't as good. Maybe Crafty is actually a lot faster but (insert same argument here). ...and the net result is that even though there are big speed differences the programs play similarly. -- GCP
