I gave you an answer of sorts.  Best case is fine 70.  3x as many plies.
Middlegame seems to be a factor of 2x in terms of time to reaching a specific
depth.  So a fraction of a ply.  So from early middlegame to endgame sees this
go from a fraction of a ply to (say) 30 additional plies...

The 30 is important.  It doesn't just happen in fine 70.  It happens in lots
of important king and pawn endings.
