But you said the 70pps is even _before_ you turn on the ELO prediction
- so you are effectively saying that your base speed is useless, then no
matter how fast you make ELO, of course your final speed will remain
useless.
I think it is obvious you should forget about gamma computation and
feature checks for now completely, and focus on bringing your base
engine up to reasonable speed - of course you should at the same time
consider which features you need provided by the engine (e.g. real
liberties) and move them there.
(You could also choose a better base to work from,
e.g. libego, Pachi or Fuego, but maybe you are expected to use Orego
for your project. ;-)
P.S.: I wonder what's the top speed Java-based engines can currently
achieve? Anyone has any data? How fast is refbot?
