Subject: Impact of disk performance in endgames

Author: Gordon Rattray

I currently use Fritz, etc. to analyse a lot of endgame positions.  During the
search there is often a large amount of tablebase hits (I'm currently using all
5 man TBs with a 32Mb TB cache).  It regularly seems that the disk access speed
is more of a bottleneck than the processor.

Should I consider using a faster disk (I'm currently using a 7200rpm IDE drive)?
 Will it be worth it?  Should I use SCSI instead of IDE?

thanks in advance

Gordon
