Ok here is an example with a test position



6rk/1NR2p1p/8/3Qq3/3p4/PP1n1pPP/5P2/6K1 w - -

Here Rook C7 is the rt move which my system finds however at 5 min of analisis
look at how the kns tanks. The hash is set to 96 mb if I dont set it that high
the system never finds Rook C7 because it tanks to fast. However the same
tanking  happens with lower hash (44.) I know it s not a hash problem (set to
high) because the position would never get off the ground (486 k/ns)(in the
first place if it was. Again there is nothing running in back ground in addition
I made sure to start with a fresh rebut.

as you can see after 5 min analisis a horible 102 k/ns and droping at that....


Thank s for any additional help
