I made small mistake in estimation how many clocks you need
for evaluation. i said 'about 300'. Well it is more like 600,
because in each node you both first try to read and then
try to store.

So 90% of the cases you read + write to the slow main memory
In a bit more than 10% of the cases you just need a read.

That means in short huge number of clocks extra for
eval table. If you get half a million nodes a second on
a dual MP, you sure don't want to use an evaltable.
