I don't remember measuring a large gain. The thing is, in alpha-beta
programs you often use the transposition table for move ordering,
particularly with iterative deepening, and move ordering improvements
bring much more than the gain from pure transposition cutoffs.

I suspect in most go programs storing the move ordering info in the
transposition table isn't as useful, if nothing else because you don't
use iterative deepening.
