Yes, you are right this is some of the task for the selfplay. But I wanted to
see your numbers before starting to interpret those.

I have no ideas if this can be done by PFII but a comparable list of search with
time, ply, score and pv from null and upto plies within your patience whould
have been nice.
Your indication of 16 times slower could be 2 ply with bf of 4.

I think the latest Heinz-test went prety high in ply (with Fritz), it was in one
of the latest ICGA I think, but I'm not at home now to check.

Else you could start some hundred games but that would be a torture with a
handheld.
