I don't know where you are getting that 0.3% figure(?). My results do not
support it. The Shredder 7.04 UCI engine is much faster on my computer system
(Windows 98se, 500MHz Celeron, 256MB) when run in the Classic Shredder 6 GUI.
How much faster? I haven't quantified it exactly yet, but a lot! In typical
opening/middlegame positions in infinite analysis mode (usually run for an hour
or more), the Shredder 7.04 UCI engine usually runs at 100+ kN/s in the Classic
Shredder 6 GUI, as compared to only about 70-80 kN/s in the Shredder 7 (CB) GUI.
The Classic Shredder 6 GUI is also friendlier to my computer in general, using
less resources, which is an important factor with Windows 98 and Me.
