I rechecked this and I need to correct this information: Since the speed of DJ6
on a single processor is only slightly less than J6, it was decided not to
include the J6 engine in the DJ6 CD.

This is again because we didn't foresee a requirement to use less processor
power than available in Deep Junior. Whenever there'll be a patch download,
we'll throw in this feature.
