Hi:
I downloaded and I submited the trial program to a test with three different
chess programs.
With Ruffian, I started it with and without the Hare thing and played h3 as
first move for white, then I counted Knodes and changes of speed.

Without it, Ruffian -in my Athlon 1.5+- goes from 912 Kn to 812 and then  724
With it, goes from 997 Kn, then 812 and 724

In Hiarcs, both measures are identical: 144 Kn in the Hiarcs mark test

In fritz 6, the same thing, without other variation than insignificant statiscal
one.

Conclusion: Hare does not do good neither bad in terms of CPU speed for chess
prorams at least. Probably the desfragmenter works OK, but you can get dozens of
them for free.
