Hi Ed,

have you made a testrun of 1 game, (hope it reproduces) under the different
settings.

Most likely the logfiles will show a different (lower) knode speed. I can make
up several excuses for that.

- At startup, chessengine and interface are fixed to a different processor,
meaning the second chessprogram gets the load of the interface as well (or any
other process that the interface initialises).

- Engine 2 is initialised on a crappy memory alignment.

- Time related rounding errors are every time rounded in 1 the first engines
favor.

- All communication is handled as engine 1 first then engine 2 ( rather than
engine on the move, engine not to move ) so during the whole game, engine 1 gets
every information earlier than engine 2


If you feel the need, I'm pretty sure I can come up with some more :)

Tony
