Old chess engines will have been optimized to use much less memory, where as modern chess engines use a very large hash table.
I’m pretty interested in understanding the size of this effect by scaling down the memory use as well as compute to historical levels. (This is one of my concerns about hippke’s experiment, though it seems like they think it’s not a big factor.)
