2. I'm not sure gnubg uses 2ply for luck evaluation. If it uses 0 ply (as I remember,

By default luck is analyzed at 0 ply. You can set the plies manually with:
set analysis luckanalysis plies <plies>

And yes, setting the ply level higher even for something like luck slows down analysis considerably.
0-ply is used as well (Not changeable that I am aware of) when using cheat mode to determine the best to worst possible rolls.
