Code that is unused in a program never helps the performance. The MP code is not used with a SP system. For example take a program you have written and add some large unused functions. Now compile the program and see if it is somehow faster. Logically your program should be a small bit slower due to the extra code. Now think that some of the extra code in a chess program is probably an in a loop that is used millions of times. This may only be a small difference but every little bit matters.
