It doesn't, really.  As far as SSDF goes, it'll be just a few points higher, if
any, than the top Hiarcs on the list (with 450Mhz hardware).

With shorter games, you don't need so much hash.  The program is searching many
less nodes in a shorter time control, so the hash doesn't get full.  With a long
time control, the hash eventually fills up - this is where a bigger hash would
help.
