Don't be a fool! You can test it in 30 minutes by changing hash size and
comparing in couple of positions. The answer is definitely YES: when increasing
hash by 3x you get easily 20 - 40 % speedup in Fritz, but hardly any improvement
at all with other programs (e.g. Rebel, Mchess, Genius...).

Other thing is that Fritz5 runs also fine with limited hash as with 8 MB in
my 486 (when hash is full it doesn't stop searching as claimed).
