When using wcrafty under Fritz with the wb2uci setup, Crafty always lagged
before the thinking process started each move, losing valuable seconds each
move. Also, the time spent on each move within the time control was consistent
to within a few seconds.
Using the CB version, neither of these things occur and I'm much happier.
Bottom line - next time I'll wait the little while longer for the CB version and
I'd advise other Fritz users to do the same.
