All programs can find better moves with more time and faster processors, not
only CST. Will CST improve from extra time more than Junior 5? I wonder. Maybe.
But not enough to change results by much. 40/40 on a PII-400 is no blitz.

CST's book is on CD and plays the openings instantly.

These 2 or 3 seconds are auto232 delay. Junior will register the 3 seconds it
takes to receive CST's move, but CST will count 0 seconds.
