Subject: Questions about Junior and hash tables

I want to know after how much time the hash tables of Junior are full
(Fritz5 gives me this information).

I see that if I give Junior big hash tables it needs time to begin to think so
too big hash tables are counter productive and I want to know what
is the optimal hash tables per time.

I found that at least in Junior4.6(I did not check it in Junior5)
if I give Junior 100Mbytes hash tables it may be slower than 20Mbytes
and not only because of the first time it needs to clear the hash tables.
It looks at less positions to go to the same depth but need more time to look at
them.

This fact make me think that  maybe too big hash tables for Junior are counter
productive also in long time control.
can it be counter productive because of the computer?

Is it possible that in pentium200MMX small hash tables are better and in a newer
computer big hash tables are better?
