I haven't run a profiler in a while, but as I recall,
CalculateHalfInputs was a big contributor. I had an idea to replace
the iterative loops over the board arrays with operations using shifts
and masks (probably by making bit maps of blots, blocked points, etc.)
and tables of dice rolls vs moves. However, I haven't been able to get
enough unbroken time to do any serious work other than simple patches
in a long time - the joys of young children, moving houses and changes
in my work.
