Yes, this is true :) You have to force another program to foreground when testing against their native engines. >Even more >extreme, I have seen this in a beta version of ChessAssistent, where the native >engine got something like 90% CPU, while UCI/WB engines only got 10%, in ponder >on matches. In their latest build (all 6.1 versions) the opposite is true if you try to lower the priority from the gui. Eg. Winboard/UCI engines run at normal priority when the native engine is lowered.
