I find that very hard to believe. What are you basing that result on? When you
are running CM for Windows, what other features do you have running? It is
possible to have two engines running concurrently -- one playing and the other
analyzing -- which means that both engines get no more than 50% of the CPU.

But, even with that, it shouldn't play "much stronger" on the Xbox -- MAYBE
equivalently....
