If you change anything, you might change a _lot_. IE your CM6666 might be perfect for CM playing on your hardware, against the opponents you use playing on your hardware. Speed up or slow down the hardware and the results can change significantly... more than you would think. It is not impossible to believe that your setting are perfect for your speed hardware, but that they might be worse on other hardware... This used to cause me a lot of grief, tuning on one machine(Cray Blitz) but playing on something a lot faster...
