All Bob needs to do to boost this dramatically is to change how he counts nodes.

My understanding is that the nps given for the distributed perft project counts
all of the nodes that would have been visited if hash tables were not used. But
then hash tables are used, so not all of the nodes are actually visited. Is this
understanding correct?
