Subject: Dann Corbit and Dr. Hyatt -- please read this!

Dann, you keep insisting that Dr. Hyatt does NOT endorse Ponder=ON for
program-versus-program matches on a SINGLE computer with a SINGLE CPU.  Yet
that's what he says.  Have you seen his responses to your statements?

I must admit that the idea seems odd to me -- who's to say how much CPU power
each app might use when it's not the active/front one?  I've heard that CM8000
totally hogs the CPU even when it's in the "background".

On the other hand, I would not take Dr. Hyatt's opinion lightly.  As you two
clearly represent the opposite ends of the spectrum on this one (with Dann
saying "you'd have to be crazy" to use Ponder=ON), I'd kind of like the two of
you to discuss this and see if either one can convince the other.
