I found in my engine-engine games that the number of nodes per second was too low and I suspected that something is wrong with it so I decided to download Fritz6light as the only active engine. Hiarcs7.32 was the only active program and Fritz6light was the only active engine(32 mbytes hash tables). I found the same behaviour so I decided to check the numbers of nodes and the times in the position after 1.a3 a6 2.e4 I got the following results on my PIII450: 20 seconds 4737 knodes 56 seconds 13024 knodes This means only slightly more than 200 knodes per scond and it seems too low because I know that the normal knodes per second is bigger. I decided to restart my computer and after doing it I found the following results at the same conditions(Hiarcs7.32 is the only active program and Fritz6light is the only active engine with 32 mbytes hash tables). 14 seconds 4737 knodes. 41 seconds 13024 knodes. 1)Can someone explain the reason that my computer became faster after restarting? 2)Is there a way to know that my computer is slower without doing a test like this test. I want to know if it is slower during an engine-engine game without giving it the position after 1.a3 a6 2.e4 and checking the times. I can only suspect by looking at the number of the nodes per second because it is possible that the number is smaller because of different position. Uri
