Let me add that these are positions that misbehave for various reasons,
which is what I think originally caught your eye.  I would not particularly
use WAC for a speedup test myself, I have a
set of positions I normally run that includes a few tactical positions a
few quiet positions, a few opening positions and a few endgame positions...

Not that that is a better test, but it does have a bit more diversity.
