Why would anyone need a hash table in excess of 640MB anyhow? Too much hash is worse for performance than too little. If 80% is your hash remains empty then the programs has to spend too much time searching for the stored positions. It can actually recalculate them faster than it can find that needle in a haystack. In most time controls on the server 256 is most you will need. In blitz I think anything over 64 is killing performance. I am told that for like 3+2 32 MB and under is sufficient but i lose kNs when i drop that low so i stay at 64.
