It isn't clear that fritz suffers more than hiarcs from small hash tables
because hiarcs does not clear the hash tables after every move when fritz clears
the hash tables after every move.

I do not think that the difference in hash tables is important in the case
Junior-Tiger.
I assume that Junior and Tiger can be only 6-7% faster from doubling the hash
tables and if you assume that Junior is twice faster in filling the hash tables
(I am not sure if this assumption is right) then it is only 6-7% speed
advantage.
6-7% speed advantage is probably less than 10 elo difference.
