"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."

I went to the archives to check. That one quote is probably enough.
Maybe as you've already started Pavel, you could do 1/2 on, 1/2 off, & see if
there's any marked difference in results. There shouldn't be because as you
said previously it's the same setting for everyone, so the playingfield is
level.
Thanks Ralf
