You say "better over all performance", but you only test it in perft. :)

A "block" generator is of course faster in perft, but perft is not a realistic
test for this sort of thing.

It's like building the fastest car to run 400 m straight ahead, that would be a
dragster. Chess is 500 miles off road dirt track though, and the dragster sucks.
