Depth preferred gives a good speed up because those entries came from the upper
part of the tree wich means they represent the result of a search of a bigger
subtree.

Beyond this I suspect there is quite a lot to do (invent) in order to improve
hash table performance. I think the classic two tier scheme is too simple to be
the best think there is and I also think chess programmers didn't give too much
attention to hash tables advances and inovation.
I really feel there's a lot to be done in this field.

Best regards,
