Depends on what the "test sets" are looking for.  Tactics is not the _only_
part of the game of chess.  Finding tactics quicker might well mean finding
positional stuff slower.  tactics are fine for judging tactical changes to
the search.  But they don't help a lot when trying to estimate the playing
strength change after a modification to the engine.
