When playing games in MultiPV mode we must take care to only track the best move changing for the first PV line.
Otherwise, SF will spend most of its time for the initial moves after the book exit.
This has been observed and reported on discord, but can also be seen in games
played in Stefan Pohl's MultiPV experiment.
Tested with MultiPV=4.
