Sorry, I was busy with an interview and a childrens day (Kind of Santa Claus but
then without Christmas)

The main simularity ( and biggest improvement compared to standard generation)
is the swithing from 1 big array with contains the endresults but is also used
as "working" array, to a slow result array and smaller faster "working" bit
arrays wich don't (need to ) contain all the knowledge of the result array.

That is bassicly what your paper describes. Splitting the array and applying the
standard stuff. ( wich resulted in a comprehensible and usefull article )

Urbans paper(snippet), though undoubtly less readable, seems to go way further.
