Subject: Shredder 9 performance - advice please !

Author: Mark Mason

I am currently playing various engine-engine matches on CB to test them out.
However,when I use Shredder 9 for blitz it plays very slowly and I am losing
games on time.

It runs at about 180KN/s whereas Fritz, Fruit, Toga II etc run at about 500KN/s.

I don't have fast hardware (Intel Celeron 2.0GHz with 512Mb RAM)so I know this
affects engine performance but I was wondering whether either of these would
help:

a) Should I set different hash table size from 64Mb which I usually use for 5
minute blitz ?

b) would tweaking any of the engine parameter settings away from their defaults
speed the move rate up eg."Time Useage" or "Knowledge/Speed"

I would be very grateful for any advice as I have purchased S9 and at the moment
am finding it disappointing compared to other engines.

Many thanks

Mark
