It should generate almost identical code, but for some reason it is much faster on my computer. ``` Result of 60 runs (counting nodes/1B cycles) ============================================= base (...tockfish.23cf5d) = 263302 +/- 5280 test (...tockfish.daacee) = 266324 +/- 5492 speedup % = +1.13 +/- 0.10 [95% CI; t-test] likelihood(speedup > 0) = 1.0000 likelyhood(speedup > .5%) = 1.0000 CPU: 16 x Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 185H ``` Fishtest results (see also [[1]](https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/6a63f21ac054e285ae0288a2), [[2]](https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/6a6497e8c054e285ae028aac), [[3]](https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/6a64e0dfc054e285ae028b3e)) seem to suggest that this might be a sizable speedup on many machines, but also a sizable slowdown on some. closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/7013 No functional change
