You have a freakin' >FX53 and you're at a hardware disadvantage! Wow... It's a disadvantage, but a small one. How small? Crafty on a 2.2Ghz Opteron in 32-bit gets about 1.5M NPS. With a 1.89 speedup, we get 2.8M nps. My FX53 (64-bit) will do 2.6M. It's at a 8% HW disadvantage. 8% means nothing in a 120/0 game.
