from the article:
2) You'll still want to set lower values for blitz games compared to values for
games with longer time controls. Even if you have a greasy-fast processor, you
won't want to set your hash tables above 64 Mb or 128 Mb for a 5-minute blitz
game (and still less if you have, say, a Pentium II or III processor --
something like 32 Mb RAM might be more appropriate).

How Bizzare.
The only reason I can see for wanting a lower limit for blitz than for slower
speeds is if the engine had to clear its hash table before each move.
Do *any* engines do that?
