Don't know whether you can read German, but you are wrong.
The link above dosn't show that ponder is worse.
Crafty got the same result with ponder=on and Ponder=off.
Up to the moment we don't know if Crafty's opponents had Ponder=on or off
when playing Crafty. And we only know the total hash size is 128 Mb, but not
what hash= and hashP= .
If we assume Crafty to be somewhat weeker than it's opponents and the matches
were
Crafty with ponder - Opponent with ponder
Crafty without ponder - Opponent without ponder
then nothing is shown. Only that Crafty is somewhat weeker.
