Vincent answered my question, maybe.  I was talking about move generation and
supporting stuff.

I'd like mine to go faster, but realistically, what would happen if I made it
faster?  Not a whole heck of a lot.

Everyone who starts a chess program becomes an instant move generation fanatic,
because that's what you do first.  There is a post here now (a fine post) about
making the fastest possible popcount, which is used by move generation.

I ask how much this matters.
