well, things start to deteroriate, your move ordering isnt as good etc., and
your branching factor ends up so bad that it cant get from say 10 ply to 11 ply
or whatever, it sort of like hits a brick wall somewhere.

To what extent this happends largely depends on your replacement scheme, and how
well it deals with overwriting entries.

I test changes to my hash by running extremely small hashes, like 16k entries,
just to see how it will cater.
