That sounds weird. The programmer, of all, should "know", and one thing seems
clear: Those 3 engines doesn't work optimally with the same hashsize. They work
at pretty different speeds. Ie. Junior is the fastest seacher and therefore fill
the hash quicker than the two others.

To set an average for all for a tournament, like Kurt does, is reasonable, and
64, 128, 256 or something different probably doesn't make much difference,
except that some engines might benefit a little from one size, while others
might suffer a bit.
