I even not looked into "usual" positions to find how many nodes/second my mate
solver reach. It should be much lower that for "heavy" positions that I usually
depose here.
Your NPS is very high compared with mine for sure. I was very surprised when I
found my numbers. You just never can say with certainty where you can expect
what numbers. Verification is the only secure way to find them. Later I still
expect to go with changes in my mate solver but I not expect that much change in
NPS figures.

Usually I try to depose here positions that look like very heavy but have decent
branching factor. Mate also is never too far. Very seldom mate will be 9 moves
or beyond. Above position was mate in 8.
