What did I invent?  Do you report RAW NPS or effective NPS?  I assumed your
2.5M was a max number, as nobody said any different.  I was wrong.  I assume
your NPS is a raw number (total nodes searched by all threads divided by the
total elapsed time used to search them) which is apparently right.  But I
didn't invent _anything_ that I know of...
