Really? I thought they used the "plain" 5500!? Hmm, maybe my memory is wrong.
Anyway, 5555 did not play the endgame well against Nimzo 98 in my Long TC
Tournament B (10 min/move on P6-233).

Again depending on the "effective" reflection time, i.e. time control _plus_ CPU
speed.

I will finally be able to put some more efforts into this area as I have written
a little tool that creates CM position files from an EPD file (if anyone is
interested, this is in Perl only (!) and will be up on SCCS next week).
So I can now run several settings through some test suites.
(But don't fear, this is not likely to delay the publication of the 6666
settings. ;-)

I tried 6666 vs. 6666 DEEP ("DEEP" has SS=32!) yesterday on FIN08 and FIN09 of
the LCT2 suite. I ran each position for 3 min only on a 233 MHz machine.
Neither program could solve either position; the DEEP variant search several
plies deeper but spent only little time on any move other than the PV...
