I see based on the time that you used ponder on.
I thought about games without pondering because pondering reduce part of the
advantage.

I do not know how much but if you want to compare the improvement relative to
theoretic improvement of being 3 times faster then the only way except using
ponder off is to write a loop that tells Junior8 to do nothing in 2/3 of the
time and to play games without time odds.
