Hi Henrik
Fully agreed: there is only a little difference (if ever).
I have tested some hundered games at 40'/40 giving Hiarcs 8
16/32/64 hash and Fritz 7 128 MB hash. Most surprisingly
the results of Hiarcs 8 with 32 MB hash were best. Unfortunately
- this made me angry - I have lost all these games due to an
unfortunate mishap. I just deleted the corresponding file because
I was quite sure that it had already been saved somewhere else.
If I find time - and with adequate hardware - I am going to
repeat this test some day. As a result of my test I simply do
no longer believe that big hash size has any substantial advantage.
