Ok, it seems i was calculating branching factor differently than others are.

My thinking was the branching factor was branching factor^depth=nodes searched.

This does not seem to be the criteria people are generally using.

If you compare the node increase between plies, my BF seems to be three.

However, i think the formulaic approach is more correct, i should not have the
wide oscilations the other echnique seems to.

Well, i feel better now.  It seems like good statistics are hard to come by,
though.
