Investigate putative 'stochastic resonance' effect #90

Need to understand how to control and use the effect the selection cache clearing bug revealed. Experiments needed!

Cleaned up the caching (which was broken even in principal because there is actually no guarantee that the second place move will be the new winner once the current first place no longer is). Having done that I removed most of the code except that which was necessary to retain this effect. I then tried to find a more rational (less of a side-effect of other things) mechanism to reproduce it, but failed after several days' effort. For now I am cutting my losses and pushing the cleaned up version that doesn't have broken caching code in it, and which clearly comments the current status.
