Hi Sarah,

Deep Shredder runs on a single processor machine too. When I run test positions
with Deep Fritz and Crafty, I get a 1.7x speedup average with 2 CPUs compared to
a single CPU, and a few times they are faster with one processor than with two.
Deep Shredder is a different animal in this regard, since the speedup is only
obvious in terms of N/S. Maybe Stefan cares to comment about it.
