Yes it works, I guess every top program does pretty much the same. However one of my early observations with Go programming has been that the speed is not a very big issue in this field (at least in lower levels). >From 9x9 CGOS: iva-0.1 <http://cgos.boardspace.net/9x9/cross/iva-0.1.html> (1687), fixed 100k playouts/move iva-0.2 <http://cgos.boardspace.net/9x9/cross/iva-0.2-dev1.html> (1795), 4 threads, optimized time usage, ~1M playouts/move 10x more processing power only gave around 100 extra elo points. Of course with heavy playouts and more fine tuned programs things can be very different...
