Hi João, if you do not get different results for a beam of 1000 vs a beam of 10000 then, yes, that means that you do not get additional search errors by cutting the stack sizes by a factor of 10. For Europarl trained models this is consistent with my findings (see also my 2004 AMTA paper on Pharaoh). I have seen different results for other models, especially if they are larger. Obviously the reordering limit plays a role as well.
