Usually they do the in the end the opposite of what Jeroen tells me. Jeroen told
me this time they would not join most likely. So i assume they will join now as
no commercial programmer with a good program wants to miss this opportunity of
course to play a FIDE world champ :)

SMP search is a cheap way to get your program faster. For an investment of time
you get a decent speedup. If you invest really a lot of time like me, you get an
even bigger speedup!
