Subject: q search nps question

Author: Landon Rabern

I jsut added a q-search to my program and it dropped from 180,000 nps to
90,000 nps.  I count leaf nodes when counting my nodes, so I though it might be
that the q-search has no leaf nodes, so I was not getting these free no-work
nodes.  This wasn't it though, because I tried incrementing the nope counter
where a leaf node would have been had it been a regular search, but this only
improved it slightly.  I am pretty sure that it is actually running a lot
slower.  Is it supposed to do this?

Thanks,
