Really? What if you have 8 processors? What if you have 512 megs of ram? Then your crafty can't possibly play any better than with those settings you posted? What you have done is simply to put some [a tiny fraction of what is available] of the crafty rc file options on the command line instead of the file. But those settings are hardly optimal for every system. The defaults (no command line switches and no .craftyrc) are vastly inferior than the optimum settings for nearly any real system. I will admit I was a bit hyperbolic. But one or two orders of magnitude is not out of the question.
