Most of the programs will tell you a raw NPS number.  However, I think they are
not comparable from program to program.  The reason is that a slow searcher node
is not the same as a fast searcher node.  HIARCS will get a very low NPS value,
and Crafty a very high one.  But that does not indicate their relative strength.
 I think the best indication of relative strength is the time to ply value (or
the number of plies at some time t).
