Subject: Reorder data layout and optimize access patern
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=44cb792c76167a5b3bde4f71fc7c4874a6807f0e

Reorder data layout and optimize access patern

With this very simple patch we get a speed boost
of 0.8% on my PC !

Sometime we find the most complex tricks to increase speed
when instead the best results come from the simplest solutions.

No functional change of course ;-)
