Uh, that's a tricky comparison. You don't know how I or Vincent order
our moves, and I fail to see why you 'know' that we are searching slower
(hint: NPS is not a good indicator).

Also, for splitting it's not so much move ordering itself that matters -
you can use additional heuristics to estimate whether you are at al ALL
node. That's one of the nice tricks in DTS.

There's much more to it as well. For example the overhead in the splitting
itself.
