In this case it is possible that one cpu fruit will beat 2 cpu fruit thanks to
better search that may make one cpu fruit 2 times faster(because it will not be
a problem to copy the evaluation from parallel fruit to one cpu fruit but it
will be a problem to copy the search algorithm).

My intuition anyway(I do not have intuition that tells me something about
parallel search and I admit to understand nothing about it but my intuition
tells me that better search is important and not only better evaluation).
