If the largest bitbase sets could not all be loaded into RAM then you can probe the smaller sets directly.
I probe 3&4 men even in qsearch while 5 men are restricted to the upper 2/3rd of the tree. Ofcourse if you load them all it is as you say.

@Martin, I think Shredder has 6 men bitbases and has the best compression I heard of.
