Mine was slightly better, so far:

#  3      0.01s                 1kN [  9.22]  0.93         74-         0
#  4      0.07s [  7.00]        4kN [  5.29]  1.02        509-         0
#  5      0.49s [  7.00]       28kN [  7.80]  1.14       3169-         0
#  6      2.88s [  5.88]      168kN [  6.05]  1.39      13961-         0
#  7     25.72s [  8.93]     1616kN [  9.63]  1.64     120110-         0
#  8    412.67s [ 16.04]    28303kN [ 17.51]  1.92    1825814-        32
#  9   7533.33s [ 18.26]   524949kN [ 18.55]  2.03   33174075-  24426174

But it may jump once more for depth 10, we'll have to wait and see.

Cheers,
Heiner
