Public movei will use the always the same time in 4 and in 5(it simply use the
same time if the number of remaining moves is bigger than 30).
It does not make sense but at least  it is less illogical than programs that
simply divide the time by the number of the remaining moves.

Latest (not public) movei does better.

There are cases when the time is the same because movei always play a move after
finishing iteration except cases when there is a danger of losing on time.
