That's why the footnote. My reason to enter Crafty was to compare a freeware
program with the best commercials, and to some extent the clearing of hashtables
is hurting Crafty 16.1 as a CB engime. By how much? The best way to find out
would be to enter 16.3. Meanwhile, we can speculate a bit. Hiarcs 6 as as Fritz
engine has the same problems of Crafty 16.1, plus the inability to allocate more
than 8MB for hashtables. Comparing eng-eng performance with auto232, H6 gets
some 40 to 50 Elo points more in the DOS version (no resetting of hashtables,
etc). If we can (?) extrapolate this to Crafty...

Ed Schröder would disagree very strongly with you.
