Subject: Rybka nps - 30knps

Some time ago I saw someone reporting (don't remember if it was here) Rybka
doing 30Knps, while crafy 19.x doing 800Knps and Fritz8 doing over a million nps
on his pc while beating both crafty and fritz.

Over the years computer programmers said that nps was an importante factor in an
engine performance, (and I agree, look at Deep Blue and Hydra).
In face of Rybka nps, my question is:
What the hell is going on?
In this department Rybka seams to prove that nps isn't a factor for performance
at all.

Please state you opinion on this.

best regards,
Alvaro Cardoso
