That's clearly the record for an AMD450MHz with 8 MB hash searching that
position.

That (and 50 cents) will get you a cup of coffee.

Don't get me wrong -- LG is one of the top 5 freely available programs without a
doubt.  But if there was ever a more useless statistic than thousand nodes per
megaherts, I would like to know what it is.

MCP8, Diep, CS-Tal and others will get several orders of magnitude less nodes
than that.  But they are equal or better at playing chess.

Go figure.
