Below is latest Crafty data experiment performed by Bob Hyatt on Crafty. hash -------------time--------------- mem ent ply8 ply9 ply10 ply11 ply12 384K 24K 9 30 94 320 --- 768K 48K 9 33 93 258 3M 192K 10 20 41 177 6M 384K 9 27 68 195 12M 768K 9 32 70 160 24M 1536K 8 30 69 136 48M 3072K 8 20 61 161 431 96M 6144K 8 21 62 171 468 192M 12288K 8 20 61 163 478 -- Komputer Korner
