    The topic of saving the state file occurs frequently.
    Why would a long running program generate more interesting
    points than one that just started from a random seed?
    Could a FAQ-like explanation be given?

    The code also converts the points it generates to a special basis
    before counting the 0's and 1's. That looks like an expensive step.
    If it is expensive, why is it needed? Again a FAQ level explanation
    would be nice.

    Thanks!
