The CM6K I always found to use about 50% of it's allotted time compared to it's opponents. That was after playing manual games of one hour in my Easter Tourney. CM8K clearly something is wrong. It's time usage indicates a bug. And per John's post further down it would appear they agree, at least on some. Sarah.
