I've run it with both variations and I'm seeing no significant difference at
all between the two cases.

If it helps I made the changes around May 2006, so its a while ago now.


Along with that the likes of the following:

$board[position() > $rowStart and position() <= $rowStart + 9]

was changed to:

subsequence($board, fn:getRowStart($index), 9)

so perhaps the improvements were all there?  (fn:getRowStart() is a
memo function too)

Sorry if I've caused you to waste a day...
