You never mentioned version?
1.0.0 Had a ponder bug and therefore has the problem you describe.
Set up as a WB engine using the OLD CB adapter works fine on the CB server,
except for the occasional time loss.

1.0.1 The latest version was supposed to have this ponder problem fixed, I
haven't tried it myself to confirm it however.
