[gnugo-devel] speeding up the engine

[Joseph Piche]

I had an idea for speading up move generation, but this would probably
only work in certain situations.

When genmove gives a list of top moves, store that list and the
current board position until the next genmove so that after checking
the difference in the board--if the opponent played tenuki, if gnugo
has sente, etc--then one of the previous possible moves could be
reused. Again, this wouldn't work in situations where gnugo is
generating only one move, but it could be especially useful.

Unrelated, the todo list says "Make the cache not waste storage on 64
bit systems." I am willing to help out with this since I have a 64bit
ubuntu box I work on. But, again, I don't know where to start looking.
