I don't know much about parallell search, but intuitively I would expect test
suites (especially tactical ones) to be a poor way to measure the speedup with
multiple CPUs.  The search tree in a typical test position will often look very
different from a normal search tree, and it is possible that the parallell
search
efficiency in such positions is very different from the efficiency in average
positions reached during normal games.
