Chest uses 0.15 seconds on a P/133.  This is quite comparable to leonid´s
time.

The hash table speeds up Chest for about 14% (conservative estimate).
Within a mate in 4 there is not much chance for repeated positions.

A comparison with Chest might be worthwhile, but I would use larger (deeper)
jobs.  The deeper, the more opportunities to do tricky speed ups.
We may both learn from the other program, where it is significantly faster.
