More memory for hash is good, but Junior is not very sensitive to it and you can
change memory size by order of magnitude without obvious effect on playing
strength.

The comparison to Fritz is interesting and backward: I believe that Fritz 6
(new) consumes less memory than previous versions and the reason may be a
conversation I had with Frans about this in Paderborn, from which he may have
decided that he doesn't need so much memory.
