I know it happened in 10 minutes per game but only after a very long game. I think the reason it happened is that the program need a constant time to start to use their hash tables. I think it is a mistake in Fritz5. The program should know that if it have not time to use big hash tables it should not waste time about starting to use big hash tables.
