I don't know how much you did for your engine already, but in my engine I
couldn't care less about speed for the time being. I'd consider it a waste
of time to optimize eg the make-move part at the moment, because it will change
quite a lot in the future I think. Of course after a while these changes will
settle down a lil. This will be the time when I'll begin to optimize.
Just my opinion of course.

Kind regards,
