Two programs, one machine, my preference is ponder=on. both will get 1/2 of the machine and the time controls won't be screwed up. ponder=off exposes the opportunity for a program to get into time trouble because it assumes it will save time with ponder=on when it really can't since it is disabled... ponder=on is the right way to test _everything_ IMHO, unless you have so little memory that both programs won't fit at the same time.
