This depends to a great extent on the engine, I think.  The experiments I have
seen which conclude that tablebases have no measurable effect on playing
strength
have always been conducted with strong engines like Yace and Crafty, which
probably play excellent endgames even without tablebases.  I expect that a
program
with little or badly tuned endgame knowledge will profit much more from
tablebases.
