From my own tests I noticed that my move generation with (rotated) bitboards was about 20-30% slower than just the 'mailbox' iteration on the K6-2. The same binary, run on an Athlon XP showed the performance to be just the other way around: The bitboards were 20-30% faster than the 'mailbox' iterations. Richard.
