NPS is only woth mentioning when comparing identical program to identical program running on perhaps different processors with different optimizations. For example on this position (link below) , running a Dell Axim (oc to 600 Mhz) it will see exactly the same number of positions in just 31 seconds or 103K nps. http://www.chessgenius.com/palm/faq.htm I would to love see CT optimize for the Pocket PC - any chance of that happening?
