It doesn't change _that_ much on the last 3-4-5-6 searches.  At least it
doesn't for me in the results from Cray Blitz on 16 and 32 cpus...  Once
those two programs get to the 1-2 second mark, the cpus stay busy, period.
Just like Crafty.  I don't believe DB had any such problem either, once
you get beyond the first search result they outputted for a iteration...

You could test your hypothesis however, by seeing if the first couple
of branching factors are worse than the last couple for each search...
If they are similar, this isn't a problem...

I might try this tonight late, for one log file...
