Not for NPS.  Do I need to run that to show you?  eval affects the shape of
the tree.  It doesn't affect the size of the tree, for a given time limit.

Not with my program.  Can't and won't say about yours.  But NPS is a pretty
constant thing the way I do things.  As I have shown with data I have sent you
and posted here, of course...

Certainly.  It could show a faster SMP speedup.  Or a slower SMP
speedup.  Because it changes the shape of the tree.  It won't change
the NPS much (it might go up a bit as some parts of the eval are
turned off in analysis mode)...
