By the way, I think WAC at one minute is a good suite when you are
starting out.  As you add extensions, pruning, and speed things up, your
scores will climb in noticeable fashion.  Also, you know from the start
that you will eventually get >= 295 or so on decent hardware, so you
have something to aim for.

You can also do ECM at 20 seconds, lots of these seem to be pretty hard,
so you can notice improvement more easily.

These take about five hours each, which makes them reasonable to do
overnight.

Both of these suites are at:
