It is possible that not storing the information and doing verification search is simply better for him practically than R=3. You can say also that using hash tables for pruning is bad because you can get wrong result when there is repetition in line A and no repetition in line B. I do not use hash tables for pruning and I do not plan to do it in the near future but I do not say that it is a bad idea only because of the fact that they may give a result that is not correct. Uri
