               Hi Richard.
                           I recently ran 300 1min +1 sec games between 1.4 and 1.4a using the default settings.  1.4a won the match by 13 points; not sure if that is enough games to mean anything.  I am sure that you have enough games of your own but if you want me to post the games I will.
 
                           I noticed that you have the minimum split depth parameter.  Is there some automated way to "tune" that to a particular pc like what Houdini does?  If not "auto", what is the best way for me to know what depth is best here without running full matches?

               1: Critter_1.4a_64bit_sse4    156.5 / 300    +58    =197    -45
               2: Critter_1.4_64bit_sse4      143.5 / 300    +45    =197    -58
