most probably.  I definitely have a problem in that area, but I didn't feel like
trying to make a last-minute fix that would leave Peter hanging on to his hat to
see what such a "fix" would "break".

I have not bothered the "chess skill" part of Crafty in weeks.  All I have been
doing is working to improve the NUMA issues.  it is now scaling perfectly again,
after a lot of tweaking and twiddling.

I believe that Crafty thought it was almost +2.0 better at one point...
