When it starts to play badly.

How did you achieve 600K nps on a normal machine?  Are you counting nodes the
way most of the rest of us are?  The way most of us do it is that a node is a
call to "search" or "quies", regardless of what happens after the call is made
(a node that cuts off via the hash table is still counted).
