Chessbase engines always seem to have little quirks.  For example , Junior 8 on
my machines hogs two CPUs on my dual machine, although there is no option to set
only one thread in the engine parameters box.

Makes it a little unfair (very conveniently for Junior) in engine vs engine
natches on a dual machine,  So to run  a fair match on a dual machine, you must
buy the Deep Junior 8 version and change the thread setting to 1 (and the list
goes on ...)

BTW, Junior 7 does have this issue -- so it was a new "unannounced feature"
introduced in Junior 8  ;>)
