Michael M. and Steven L. posted an idea for an optimization for the
low hand. The concept is that you can encode the hand in a byte
(bitmapped for each rank) and use that to index into a precomputed
array of results. Voila O(1) low determination.

I coded it up the hard way before being educated. Unfortuantely I
don't have time to code it up at the moment. If you do it might be
worthwhile to use the code I've produced to check the fast
implementation.
