I can't see it that way. If ponder=off then when it is the turn to move
the program has full cpu utilization. With ponder=on on one cpu it is likely
that one of any two programs will take more than 50%. There are others far
more qualified than I to answer the cpu question I just can't see how with
ponder=on it would ever be the same.

It is a good subject matter I think.
Interesting at least the ponder=on or ponder=off subject.
As usual don't worry about your English !!.

Thanks.
