No.  They're all installed on an SSD.  It's CPU limited anyway.

I thought 2.19.16 might be quicker because of the change to the compiler, 
but, as you say, have no idea why .18 is so much quicker than .16.  I'm 
pretty certain it's a genuine difference: I only noticed because the score I 
was working on suddenly appeared more quickly!
