I am not sure if this is true- lower Hash displays Higher Depth/Time.  But
assuming that it is, are you saying that decreasing hash, increases strength, or
am I missing something??
You may take it a little further and find the correlation between Time/Depth and
Hash size, and also nps vs. Time/Depth. Is it negatively (inversely proportional
to a certain degree) correlated?
