If this person used a hashtable-clearing interface, he and everyone reading his post should know that the results are not meaningful. If he used zero increment, the results are useless. The guest engine gets its hashtable cleared?, gets the entire PGN to reread?, then must rebuild its hashtable? and do some unknown amount of other re-initialization? before it can begin calculating. (I inserted the question marks because I am not an expert.) It is still relevant. FURTHERMORE (large font), those programmers who have done it RIGHT deserve credit for this RIGHT NOW (extra large flashing font), because their programs are new releases.
