No.  Having six piece ending files will slow it down a good bit, because they
are big and there are many of them.  But if you compile for 6, and only have 5,
it will realize that and it will _not_ probe when it reaches a 6 man ending as
it will know that there are only 5 (or fewer) tables available.  I run with the
6-piece version all the time...  And I am only using 3-4-5 (compressed) now.
