They are never empty if the program uses them but there is a time when they are
also not full.

My question was about comparing the branching factor after they are full
relative to the branching factor at the same ply depths assuming not using hash
tables.

I know that Fritz tells me when the hash tables are full and I think that the
branching factor is bigger after they are full.

I think based on my experience that the branching factor of Hiarcs is also
bigger when I give it to analyze for a long time but I did not do statistics
about it.
