On a very fast computer with adequate RAM [for hashing], at least 2600.
However, that's just for finding the average MOVE in an average tactical
position.  The rating to assign to "ANALYSES" depends on the methods and skills
of the user and the type of position(s) being analyzed.  Kasparov could probably
produce analyses using Fritz which could be called "3300 analyses."
