Maybe, maybe not, it really depends on the program but I would not be surprised
that, when an engines receives a 'new' command (which is what happens with
chessbase wb adapter) it simply re-initializes all hash tables and pv (starting
a new game), then the effect of pondering or previous moves searches is null(*).


But you are right that, with only one machine, there is no much you can do about
it.

probably learning files that could have gained some knowledge from previous
searches.
