Turn off the opening book and make sure it's not using the hash file.
That will probably help.  Alternatively, make the hash file mega-huge
& you may find its performance significantly degraded because it has
to search the disk a lot.  Somehow, I managed to make the hashfile
here 40M instead of 4M (I swear, it wasn't me! ;-) ) & for a while, I
thought I was really getting smart because I beat it at a few games.

Still, it's a just a good program, even when "handicapped," and is
probably not going to play really bad chess except under extreme
conditions.

PS.  You should put in a proper "reply-to" header or use a sig with
your real address.
