If you mean does that correlate, I'd guess it does.  The stronger programs will
easily get somewhere over 290 in that time.

It does suggest that you have some opportunity for improvement.  My guess is
that you can still improve effective tactical speed by a factor of 20 or so.

Recapture extension will help, as will null move R=2 if you are not doing it,
and a single-response-to-check extension.
