I want to share some experiences I made with polyglot with other users. I noticed when using the precompiled versions of polyglot that I get a around 50% reduced NPS of the engines I run them with compared with the selfcompiled verions (just using the given makefile and adjusting mcpu=xxx with the correct cpu). This is true when I use the provided linux executable on my Athlon64 on 64bit linux and the macintosh executable on the PowerPC G5. On contrary, the precompiled versions don't burden the cpu very much, as if they were run at low priority. I have no ideas why polyglot behaves like that on my systems, maybe Fabien can bring some insight into this. It made me curious and it would be useful if some other users could recompile their verions and compare there versions to the provided binaries. I don't want to conclude without stating that I think polylgot is a very nice utility. Regards Andy
