Subject: Arena vs Winboard

Hey,
I've been using winboard for Cm9k, and it has done very well on fics (2450) even
without a book, tablebase or anything.  the engine itself is only like 300k.
lol.
Well I am using arena since it comes with a opening book, (even tablebases can
be setup) and it's good, but im getting flagged in lightning, and even in blitz
games when i never got flagged in winboard.  My rating dropped significantly in
blitz.  I noticed that after the first few book moves when playing online its
already used like 2-5 seconds.  When I play offline it makes all of its book
moves with all of its time left.  I'm using timeseal, but there is a delay
option right under it which i can set in ms(millaseconds).  I'm not sure if this
is the problem or if its something else.
