I haven't looked at the influence of such big hash tables on CM. I just noticed
there's almost no difference between 1 MB and 32 MB. So I suppose the 64 MB I
used for CM were not so bad at all either.
For one thing, CM is quite slow (under 40 Knps on the 233 machines), so I guess
it's not much hash-table dependant. On the other hand, I don't think it will
slow CM down very much even if it cleared the HT on every move.
I didn't notice any slowdown in Hiarcs with 64 MB vs. 16 MB for example.
But it's possible you have a point here, I will check this for my current
tournament (where HT's bigger than 32 MB will not be necessary anyway except for
fast searchers like Fritz).
