Sounds bad - IMO Crafty plays better in Arena as wb2uci (no new command) or Arena as winboard or just plain Winbaord GUI. Last time I I posted about the UCI adpater weeaknessdue to new command , some people said it was not so bad - but I have to believe a new command with every move is bad. I guess if you using a dual with pondering on -- it is really bad, perhaps when people use no pondering for engine vs engine - it is not so bad.
