I ran the AI Sudoku Top 10 you use with your solver on it, and got the following:
Solved AI Sudoku Top 10 boards 2000 times in 10.586 seconds.
For an average solve time of 5.293 ms for all 10.
For an average solve time per puzzle of 0.5293 ms each.

They really aren't that tuff, the Weekly Unsolvable here took way more time.

For a tough one following is a nine clue puzzle that follows all the rules for Windoku, Color Sudoku, and Sudoku X:

000 080 700 ---- 136 285 794
000 000 305 ---- 842 197 365
000 000 002 ---- 759 634 182

000 009 001 ---- 678 349 521
000 000 000 ---- 514 728 639
003 000 000 ---- 923 516 478

I don’t know if you saw my last post in last weeks unsolvable. But I put my sudoku library up on github. The last post had some more details about it as well.

By Andrew's Solver with Basics, POM and ALS,

-13DE2 ( +68DE2 ) => contradiction
So +1D2 or +3E2.

+1D2 => contradiction
So +3E2.

+12HJ7, +13HJ7, +14HJ7, +23HJ7, +34HJ7 => all contradiction
So +24HJ7.

-1B4 => contradiction
So +1B4.

Then to the solution.
