While engine didn't change, the UI did and the tricks which used to prevent its engine from hogging the CPU in CM6000 may have been "fixed" in CM7000 (for whatever reason, e.g. they may have redone thread managment code and boosted thread priority for their engine thread, or there may have been bugs in the old dialog code etc). In any case, a test of CT on couple positions searched to a fixed depth would be useful, with and without CM running. Note that a generic benchmark of something else (to test general windows slowdown with CM in the background) may not necessarily capture its effect on CT. CM does play an awkward kind of chess (e.g. I have seen it without any real necessity play a bishop on d6 before it moved its d7 pawn), and although it has been too few games in this match to conclude very much, it may be that its style doesn't suit CT (and some other programs, as well).
