IE does it sound reasonable to use a non-crafty book to test? No doubt the Nimzo book is better, as my book has _no_ hand tuning of any kind. And I don't object to using any book you want. If you regularly test program A using program B's book, then this seems ok. Your call. Other than that, I generally use the default settings for everything, except for hash, hashp and cache. If you can tell me how much memory you have, I can at least suggest a number for each, but you will have to test to make sure it doesn't thrash...
