If you divide the time that the program need to finish iteration 11 by the time
it needs to finish iteration 10 you get branching factor for depthes 10-11

Better branching factor is smaller branching factor.

I remember from previous discussion that the right word should be effective
branching factor but practically almost everyone is using the name branching
factor.
