Well, I'm not sure what qualifies here.  It didn't search that deep, but Fritz
5.32 hit Nb5 in one second at SD of 8.  I stopped it after 5 minutes, it didn't
seem like it was going to change it's mind about it's move anytime soon.
Junior6 was 10 seconds and Fritz6 was 6 seconds.  They were all doing 64mb
hashtables.
