Because nps simply means nothing.
Programmers even often do not use the same way to count them.

Based on my experience as a programmer improvement in the program can happen
together with reducing the number of nodes per second or increasing them.

speed improvements may increase the number of nodes per seconds when better
algorithm may reduce it.
