He could be counting nodes in strange ways, probably doesn't use SEE, no check evader, maybe no incheck() just a fail high at the next ply, counting pseudo illegal moves, small and fast eval. Hard to say, but if he needs 3 times as many nodes to solve problems, then he had better go 3 times as fast too :) Personally I prefer the lower branch factor, exponential speed up is a good investment I think. It's not the horse power that matters, it's the power to weight ratio that's important :) -S.
