Okay can we agree that once the hash table fills up, the search slows
down by a factor of around 2. Surely this isn't worse than not having
hash tables to begin with. With full hash tables, if the replacement
strategy does only one effective job and that is improve move ordering
relative to not having any hash tables, then I can't see how any drunken
sailor effects would make the search slower than without hash tables. We
have never cleared this difference of opinion up between Bob and Chris.
The drunken sailor analogy is not mine but is Chris Whittington's.
