I think the old rule of >80-20 applies also in computer chess: 80% of the time is spent in 20% of the >functions. Finding those 20% and optimizing them can be easier using a profiler. For some reason the new VTune 7.0 trial period is only 7 days (I've got six days left). I really like VTune. It is *very* powerful, but the learning curve can be steep. I'd also recommend TrueTime from CompuWare. They have a 14-day trial you can request. In addition, TrueTime comes with BoundsChecker and Compuware's code coverage tool. If you haven't ever run BoundsChecker, or an equivalent tool, over your code I think you may be in for a surprise ;) http://www.compuware.com/products/devpartner/1586_ENG_HTML.htm regards, --tom
