only if tablebases are on a CD.  for the 3-4 piece files, the slowdown
is no more than 50% worst case, and the perfect knowledge gained is far
more valuable, because way out in the tree, after every trade that ends
in 4 pieces, you know *exactly* whether you win lose or draw.  If you
try to read from the CD, that is going to slow it *way* down.  And might
not be worthwhile in the search...
