The last DB Jr I saw had 16 chess processors..  That should turn into a peak
of 16*2.2M nodes per second.  In reality, I would suspect something like 1/5
of that if you take the original DB numbers...  It might be a bit better than
that 1/5 since there is only one level of parallelism (one powerPC processor,
16 chess processors) that might make it more efficient.  Say 10M nodes per
second maybe...

Someone once said that DB Jr might have two chess processor boards in it, which
would translate to 64 processors, and closer to 25-30M nodes per second maybe.
