I don't think massive roundoff errors are a major cause
for evaluation functions to fail. [Eg mis-evaluating a dead stone
should _at_least_ cause you to be off by more than one (or two) points)

Depends on the platform, IMHO. for platforms with separate
floating point boxes ('units') such as the alpha (maybe newer pentiums ?)
the float ops *could* be done in parallel.
It's just an engineering decision, I guess.
