On my (also quite old) Pentium 4 2.4 GHz desktop computer, FCS (from the
Subversion trunk) solves the Microsoft 32,000 deals after 287.62 seconds (on
my Mandriva Linux Cooker system). That's 111 deals per second.
Measuring the number of steps would be more work because my program to do a
timing of a sequence of MS Freecell deals does not output the solution, and
furthermore, my solver explicitly outputs all the moves involved in solving a
game - and as a result requires some effort in translating to the FreeCell
Pro "standard notation", with its implicit moves.
Back when Adrian and I integrated Freecell Solver into FC-Pro, I did the
following work, which may prove useful for it:

Shlomi, so what are you working on? Working on a new wiki about unit testing
fortunes in freecell? -- Ran Eilam
