I have done this with crafty without disabling the "Pondering" and everything looked fine. I looked at the logs after the games and they were splitting the NPS pretty good. I don't know of any reason two programs can't run at the same time if you do some test to make sure they are splitting the cpu time fairly even. I know some programs will hog the cpu time and you have to be carefull about that. But two similiar programs may share the cpu time very well (from my experience). Jim Walker
