Profiling times

[Kempelen]

My engine, as average, expend time as follow:

- 37,5% in evaluation functions.
- 36,0% in searching functions: search, qsearch, extensions, SEE, ...
- 23,5% in move-related functions: gen, make and unmake moves, isAttacked....
- 3% for control function: time, printPV, etc.

Does this numbers look acceptable? what are those stats for strong top engines?

Regards,
FS
