Stockfish memory usage
If I set 1 MB hash used memory is about 25 MB (no tablebases). At least Windows task manager says so. Which use has that memory?

A lot of little uses. Magic bitboards, evaluation tables, search and thread stuff...

Add to that history tables collecting statistics for improving move ordering (covered by "search stuff", I guess).

Re: Stockfish memory usage
On my 64-bit Linux PC, single-threaded Stockfish with a 1 MB TT uses 12904 KB of RAM, of which 3824 KB is shared (probably mostly shared libraries).
For Cfish it is 8456/2652.
