Here is what I do on a machine with decent memory, assuming I am playing in
a tournament that is playing long time controls:

memory=512mb

hash=384M
hashp=32M
cache=32M

which leaves 64M for the O/S and filecache buffers.

works well for me.  In general, egtb cache is only important in egtb positions,
but then it is very important for performance.
