	Use a dual processor computer. I am not a fan of comp-comp matches, but
sometimes I play them. I use pondering because my machine has two processors,
and I frequently check the engines' CPU usage. The only thing I must change from
usual settings is telling crafty to use only one processor (when I play against
it I tell it to use both processors).
