I guess nobody is reading or interested, but...a new discovery for me. Reducing
hash size helps the hard drive churning considerably and increases the engine
speed a lot in endgame positions. I thought 512MB hash was conservative and
would cause no problems with 1GB memory installed, but it does when there's
heavy tablebase access. Reducing hash size to 256MB makes all the difference!
