Umm, aren't you comparing them?

I only own one XP2400+, and it runs Crafty 19.3 at over 1Mnps (using the 'bench'
command). I think mine might have 384 KB of total cache, and some XP2400+'s only
have 256 KB of cache, which could make a big difference for Crafty.

What version of Crafty did you use? I think the latest version (19.10?) is quite
a bit stronger with some of the new options like DETECT_DRAW.
