What kind of speed difference do you usually see between midgames and endgames?

I usually get something like 6-800 knps midgame and 11-1800 knps in endgames
(2GHz). Varies a lot depending on what type of endgame of course.

I never saw that kind of speed up when I used attack tables, maybe just barely
hitting 10-1100 knps sometimes in the endgame while usually doing 6-800 knps
midgame.

So throwing them out have given me a big boost in the endgame and no noticable
penalty in midgame.
