Subject: Null move R=3

I've often heard people state that null move with R=3 is better than with R=2,
but I have never ever ever gotten a test result that indicates this.

I've tried everything.  I've tried it throughout the tree, I've tried it near
the root, and I've tried it near the tips.

My measurement standard is ECM positions solved, which *always* goes down.

What are other people doing that I'm not doing, or are people testing in some
other way, if so is their way better or worse?

I would test Crafty both ways (it's currently doing R=3 some places), but my
machines will be busy until after the WMCCC.
