Subject: Hashtables: is larger always better?

Author: Andreas De Troy

When I see results for the so called "Fritzmarks", I notice that the actual
numbers decrease with increasing hashtables. Is this an artefact of the
measurement? In other words, are larger hashtables always better? I suppose it
depends of the speed of the processor. If you have, for instance an Athlon 1 Ghz
(or a 1.5 Ghz or...), does it -in general- make sense to increase the size of
the hashtables to 256 Mb, 512 Mb or more?

Thanks in advance for any help!
