Hello Dave,

I´m quite sure that those few +/- % speed-differences of various
compilations don´t really make a big difference in playing strength.

But some of these compiler-guys are using different Crafty switches
(e.g. DETECTDRAW, ...), and this _might_ indeed have some influence
of the playing style of Crafty.
Really competent informations about switching on/off these features
could probably only provide Bob Hyatt.

(BTW, I don´t understand why these switches must be given at compile time -
I would prefer being able to turn them on/off e.g. in ´crafty.rc´ or directly
in command mode).

Regards,
Franz.
