This seems like a very useful measure to implement but I am not
sure how it might be done.

Take the # of total legal moves searched at each node (prior
to cut) and divide by the total number of nodes searched across
all nodes?

Time between iterations in mine goes up about 2x
to 6x per iteration but this is obviously a different measure
than what you are suggesting.
