Regarding single CPU - yes I'm sure, I verify it through task manager and been
working with duals a long time.

One thing that may be true is that , I'm optimizing on my machine and perhaps it
is faster relative to my machine than your machine.

Here;s a test:

Run Fritz Benchmark and then run crafty "benchmark" type becnhmark at command
prompt. with no crafty.rc file and then post results here and I will do like
wise.
