That Glaurung CCT8 is better than Glaurung 1.0.2 isn't unconditionally
true.  The two versions are not directly comparable.  Glaurung CCT8 is
able to utilize two CPUs, and is therefore much stronger on dual-CPU
systems.  On computers with a single CPU, however, Glaurung 1.0.2 is
probably stronger (and consumes about 10 MB less memory).

This situation is somewhat confusing, of course.  Later this spring or
summer, there will be a new version which is better than both of the
current versions, on one CPU as well as two.  I am not sure how soon
that will be, but there is a chance that it will be sooner than I
planned.  Yesterday night I discovered a rather ugly bug which may
have a serious impact on playing strength.
