Etar, you are a smart programmer. It’s really not that much to mod. I made some simple mods and increased speeds by at least 3x on most cards.

But hey, y’all can say what you want to. Water off my back.

Maybe I’ll make a video to compare how many DPs JLP’s stock Kangaroo can get in x amount of minutes and then compare that to mine. But even then, there would be doubters.

But we can do a test; a timed test. Someone can give me a range, say a 44 bit range and I will run it with my mod at DP 29, and post results. 44 bit range with DP 29 should yield 2^15 DPs in 38 minutes using 1 RTX 4090.
Substaction jmp distance from kangaroo position will give a doubling in the speed of finding  DP.
But will these additional points give a result?
If you found another solution, then well done. I only found this way.
I believe @ _Counselor implemented this method; he would know if it gave any significant speed up. But if I remember, I believe he said it did not.
