I thought that the host nodes would calculate piece-square tables for each
subtree before giving it to a processor, which is not the same as preprocessing.
If what you say is true, it indicates preprocessing, and that's an astonishing
discovery.

From the logs I remember that there is no hashtable persistence. Hashtable
persistence and preprocessing cannot coexist.
