Not all program act this way. In fact some programs, I have noticed show little difference is strength when boosting the hardware. If you were to increase the hashtables to 56 megs for Gandalf, you would notice an even bigger improvement. For some odd reason, Gandalf does not do well with it's biggest hashtable of 104 megs. 56 megs seems to be it's best setting. You will also notice that if you had _all_ the tablebases ( being all the 5 man, as Gandalf does not use 6 man ), that performance drops a bit. I believe that this is due to the searching more data, and slowing the engine drastically. When I used Gandalf, I used all 3 and 4 man, plus KRPKR, KRPKP, KBNKB, KBNKN, KQPKP, KQPKQ. And all the promotion tables. This totals about 3.6 gigs of tablebases, and seemed to be the best for Gandalf.
