I don't remember exact numbers, but on 1GHz Itanium2 (McKinley) Crafty got
something like 900-1000knps when executing "bench" command. Not great, but
reasonable good number.

On 1.5GHz Itanium2 (Madison) Crafty is getting 1,357knps.

If necessary I can send executable to Bob, so any volunteer can run his/her own
tests.

Thanks,
Eugene
