I understood that the purpose of these tests was to see to what extent blitz
results and ponder off relate to slow games with ponder on. I think they don't.
A couple of nights ago I ran a tournament at 1 1, ponder off, 20 game matches on
a P600E, 4MB hash each engine, with the following results:

Hiarcs 7.32               55.5/80
Junior 6a                 44/80
Fritz 6a                  43.5/80
Crafty 17.10              32/80
Nimzo 7.32                25/80

The results of Hiarcs and Nimzo would have been very different at 40:2 ponder
on, Hiarcs quite a bit lower and Nimzo much higher, as shown in the SSDF list
and in some tournaments, including my own.
