I don't know how useful Windows numbers will be, since Windows timeouts
are implemented differently, but Win64 is sort of unusual....
Windows Vista SP1, 64-bit, Intel Q9450, native 64-bit: 66. I also ran a
32-bit Gambit executable under WOW64 on the same system and got the same
result.
In comparison, an extremely un-unusual Windows XP SP3 on a Intel T7250
yielded 65.
