This formula was given for Fritz 5 (also Fritz 5.32), where nps is approximately
 .9 times frequency in kHz (for instance 450 knps for 500 MHz).
For other programs, the formula has to be adapted.
Obviously, Hiarcs (low nps) needs less hash.

Besides, don't forget different programs have different (and unknown) algorithms
for filling their hashtables.
