I tried to level the amount of time between positions some time ago, so that
every included position would take about the same time.
In addition, I also accept a parameter in the bench command which will be used
to increase the selected depth. So bench 0 will perform a fixed depth search for
every position to a depth specific for that position. Bench 1 will search one
deeper for every position and so on.

I haven't got much besides nodes either. I print only totals for the positions
together as the normal statistics output can be used per position (just type
'post' after starting bench).
The statistics printed for the total set are: nodes, qnodes, time and knps.

I'm using a fixed set of positions so I don't really care about this.
