Does chess program run faster under DOS? if this is >true, what's the explanation? http://www.rebel.nl/cpengine.htm "As can be seen SSDF has played with a DOS-version of Chess Tiger. Will the final commercial Windows-version Rebel-Tiger be slower and therefore weaker? No, surprisingly the opposite seems to be the case! Windows does slow the program down with 2-3%, but since the Windows compiler is better than the DOS-compiler, the net effect is a speed advantage for the Windows version. Our preliminary tests with a beta-version indicates that the Windows version is about 8-10% faster at three minutes per move."
