<id>urn:sha1:9a013b7c68f94e6be0fe8748c9012a441fe0273f</id>
<content type='text'>
With this commit we re-structure how the node expansion in the
H48 solution search works to allow prefetching of pruning values,
showing performance improvements in the range of 30-45% on x86,
depending on table size and solution length.

A small bug fix related to appending solutions is included in this commit.

<content type='text'>
Add a trivial check to H48 solver. The benchmarks show, surprisingly,
a more noticeable improvement for larger solvers (h10, h11). I was expecting
it to be more noticeable for smaller solvers.

It is likely that this change is irrelevant to performance and all changes
in the benchmark results are just random chance.

<title>Fix duplicate solutions, overflow in maxsols and improve symmetry reduction for H48.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:147b0c3c4615c32478a4923242909b8ae5a30d03</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit fixes two bugs:
  - A bug that caused duplicates solutions for symmetric scrambles.
  - An overflow in the maxsols parameter for the H48 solver, which
    caused it to find much fewer solutions than existed.

Moreover, the H48 solvers has been improved by reducing by symmetry not
only from the starting position, but also up to the first 4 moves.
