Subject: Problems with Fritz 8 Nodes per second

Author: John Coffey

I just switched from Fritz 6 to Fritz 8.  I use this program almost exclusively
to analyze my tournament games.   With Fritz 6 I would get nodes per second of
around 600 to 800K on a 933 mhz machine running Windows 98.  With Fritz 8 the
program starts out about 400K NPS, but frequently drops and sometimes gets as
low as 10K NPS.  This seems to be true when I do long searches, as I like to
analyze my games with blunder check set to 17 ply deep.  (Perhaps more deep than
I need but why would the NPS drop?)

So far it looks like fritz 6 is much faster even though the Fritz 8 packaging
claims that it is faster.
