I said only because I was under the impression that Larry was getting a lot
faster, but I guess not.

I was always pretty fast and now faster.  Around 400,000 nps on a PIII-500 with
my whole search and eval and everything on.  My eval is not that complicated
right now and could use some work and my move ordering can be improved some.  I
am at school now and do not have much time except to work on a Neural Network
for my eval which I convinced them to give me credit for.

The version of my program that is released 5.1 I think does not have the MMX
stuff because I did not want to deal with making it compatible for above and
below PII.

Landon
