The ssdf does not show that tiger with 48 kb hash is better on faster hardware
so I cannot use the ssdf results to prove that thorsten is wrong because
thorsten talked about a case that you do not use much hash.


Note that thorsten's post was productive.
Thorsten did not suggest that the tiger of the faster hardware used less hash
but thanks to his post I thought about that possibility as a logical explanation
for the observation that started this thread that tiger on the fast hardware
drew a long match against tiger on clearly slower hardware.
