My machine is a regular Pentium 200, which runs at about 150 KN/S. I may be wrong, but I think that the rate at which the hash tables fill up under the Fritz interface is directly proportional to the KN/S of the particular engine. Hiarcs 7.32 runs about 10X slower than Fritz 5.32, thus the hash tables fill up at 1/10th the rate of Fritz.
