That is probably true... the faster the PC, the better Crafty plays. Remember,
Bob Hyatt is testing Crafty on a quad Xenon with some tremendous MHz, so it is
tuned for that speed. Try a few longer games (maybe 1 hour!?) and see who
wins....

Also, there have been reports that Crafty is crippled under Fritz due to it
being forced to clear it's hash tables after every move, etc. I don't know if
this is true, but it is a possibility.
