This might have been true for earlier versions of "Fritz" but _not_
for "Fritz 6" according to personal communication with Frans Morsch.

Frans says that "Fritz 6" does full tip-node evaluations and hardly any
root-node preprocessing. Given the relative speed decrease in NPS of
"Fritz 6" as compared with "Fritz 5", I have no reason to doubt Frans'
statement.
