Depends on the position.  There are plenty of cases where I get less than
500K nodes per second, particularly if neither side has castled, as I spend
a lot of time making sure that I castle when I should, don't castle when I
shouldn't, and castle to the right side when castling in either direction is
legal.

My speed rangd goes from 450K to about 1M.  Or on a single Xeon, take 1/4 of
the above...
