I made a profile on the program on the AMD/win98 machine. It shows that 60% of the time is used by search()! Usually when I make the exact same profile, with the exact same compiler, I get that FirstBit and Evaluate takes up the majority of the time. So something was weird in my search() function. After a little examination I found that it was my call to clock() in search that wasted all that time. When I started doing time control code, I found that there were no penalty (even on win98) in calling clock() at every node, instead of calling it once a second or so. Now it looks the other way around. Why? Is clock() implemented differently in win98, or in win98 win running on AMD ?? Very weird.
