kernel density is important

  • Diamond 1.7.47: Math.exp(-0.5 * ux * ux)
  • Diamond 1.7.50: Math.pow(2, -0.5 * ux * ux) (.47 vs .50)
  • Diamond 1.7.51: Math.pow(2, -Math.abs(ux)) (.50 vs .51)

I know 1.7.51 is far from stable, but it blew away my test bed enough that I'm pretty sure it's a nice jump (knock on wood).

    Fun to experiment with!

    I just need to figure out where my major performance problems lie, because if I try directly using Math.exp() or Math.pow(), I get hundreds or thousands of skipped turns in a round. I'm pretty heavily reliant on using a fast approximation for Math.exp() right now.. but I don't think I should have to be...
