Re: on caching  Cliff Harris

I am reminded of the old proverb: "First make it work, then make it work faster."

Suppose 10% of the positions reached in a game are already cached. Then by caching
we cannot save more than 10% of the CPU. So is it worth the bother? Not only that,
but much of the load will be from managing sockets, which is not helped by caching.

here's the issue, first in terms of the chess problem. . . .
