While I think the ponder=off experiment is a valid one (at least to see how
program strength varies with time controls), I have doubts about ponder=on on
one CPU.
If you can, I would suggest you use 2 computers. But if you do not have 2
identical computers, ponder=on on one CPU will maybe tell us something too...
