I didn't "hand wave it away". I said that posting a figure of Fritz's NPS and
drawing conclusions from Shredder's performance based on this is incorrect. I
then suggested he compare the results of Shredder on a single processor as this
would be the way of showing something was amiss with its multi-processor
handling.
