How can a win binary be running faster under these conditions? I >compiled the linux version with gcc 4.0.2. As far as I know, wine runs the Windows binary "almost" natively. The only difference is that it replaces system calls with the appropriate calls for Linux. Given that these are not frequent in a chess engine, like toga, it is possible that the Windows binary is faster, if the compiler used does better optimization than gcc. Regards, Christos.
