It depends on what your program does in QSearch. If you do checks and inchecks
detections it's more likely to work because you can save a lot more work.

Another thing is the speed of your program. If you have a very big eval ( and
therefor a slower program ) you can probabely afford to hash. If, on the other
hand, you search 1Mn/s you probabely can't afford it, unless you have a few GB.
