If I can get the answer to this question then >perhaps I can set the hash table sizes more efficiently. YES! My Deep Shredder gets about 600k nps, and I can fill 256MB hash in about 1:15. I can fill 818MB of hash using Fritz 5.32 in about 2:50. Anything over 5/0, I usually use 512MB. > >Thanks > >IA > > > >On October 02, 2001 at 19:02:38, Slater Wold wrote: > >>On October 02, 2001 at 18:57:40, Ian Aston wrote: >> >>>Does anyone know if it is possible to force the CB Tiger GUI to display the >>>percentage of the allocated hash tables that it has filled. >>>According to help, the time display sometimes displays this information but I >>>have yet to see it. >>> >>>Thanks >>> >>>IA >> >>Those help files where written for Fritz 5.32.
