Do not use evaluate() for razoring

Browse source 
Because razoring is reached 10% of times and about 50% of time
first two conditions are met we can save 5% of calls to the fairly
costly evaluate().

On the other side statistics have shown 95% of nodes that pass
the first two razoring conditions pass also the evaluate() test.
So the risk of dropping the third condition seems low enough.

Testing seems to validate this.
