I have some news to share. It's possible for tybalt89's excellent optimization to run faster.
...
The optimization was made to "Check dead cells".
I don't believe your optimization of tybalt89's original code is correct.
At least, it does not pass my more rigorous tgol3.t test program, shown below.
Please test your solutions for correctness against this more thorough test
(in addition to the original simple tgol.t blinker test).
