No, when used as Crafty "Standard" , it is exactly the same.  I have no idea why
it does not get 100% on your machine and ditto for you other comment as well.
As an aside. an engine  rarely gets 100% on my machine as I'm usually doing
something my nachine si doing something in the background.  99% is more common
for me.   I keep falling back on 'ymmv".
