How many NPS? Oh, *several*. :-) Seriously: between about 30 and
about 100, on a 1GHz Athlon. It would probably be possible to get
another factor of 10 without much pain; the implementation is
very inefficient at the moment. (Remember it's intended to give
a fairly level game to a 5-year-old.) If I count all nodes
encountered in the qsearch, the level is more consistent; usually
80-100NPS.

I realise that I did the program a disservice when I described
its features. It does a few simple search extensions too.
