I have very little experience with PVS, but intuitively I would guess that it
doesn't make much difference in the QSearch.  The QSearch is not very deep, and
at most nodes you will have a zero-width window already when you enter the
QSearch.

Have you considered trying MTD(f) instead of PVS?  I am not sure it is any more
efficient in practice, but it is easier to code, and has the additional benefit
of making you feel different, original, interesting, intelligent, handsome and
attractive.
