I agree with Kurt.
Although opinion seems to be divided on the hash size issue, my belief is that
too much hash is detrimental at blitz time controls whereas too little or too
much hash can be detrimental at longer time controls.
Finding the optimum amount or close to the optimum amount at longer time
controls is the key, but after allocating hash to both engines, you should never
have used more than half of your ram in total.
