That was fast. The next one is evil.

I shouldn't have used this, I knew it would hurt me later :-) It actually does
give a nice speedup, but fortunately for valgrind testing I can easily disable
it. It comes from this code

    #ifdef __SSSE3__
        // The SSE version loses half a bit of precision, because is rounds
first
        // and then sums up, where the normal code rounds last.
        __v8hi score16 = _mm_mulhrs_epi16(weights.data, score.data);
        int16_t s0 = _mm_extract_epi16( score16, 0 ) + _mm_extract_epi16(
score16, 1 );
        return s0;
    #else    
        int o = weights.opening();
        int e = weights.endgame();
        int s = (o*score.opening() + e*score.endgame() + 0x4000) >> 15;
        ASSERT(s==s0);
        return s;
    #endif

If I disable the SSSE3 path, the next stop ist at
