Subject: The value of Tablebases in an engine

Over at CSS, the latest results of CEGT were shown with both Fruit 2.2 and Fruit
2.2.1 having achieved the exact same rating. The poster concluded this reflected
the myth that TBs added strength, whereas the ratings proved otherwise. I view
it differently of course. What *can* be concluded is that the speed lost
searching the TBs on the HD is compensated by the knowledge brought. The biggest
problem is of course the time the engine loses when searching the HD. I would
like to know if any results exist where the entire 5-man TB were placed in the
RAM and then comparative results produced with and without TBs.
