Subject: How to manage search depth in limited time?

Hi,

Suppose the time for searching a move is limited in T minus. And a program has
just finished the iterative loop of depth N. My question: How to decide that the
time left is enough for the next loop (depth N+1) or not?

(Some books suggested me to continue searching next depth and interrupt when
time is over. But I don't like this method because of wasting time.)

Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
