It might be that longer times are taken to show complete depths. Yet the clock
is ticking.  Is it the time to complete a certain depth, say 3mins.  Then to
update, the next ply might take 9 mins.  so the clock on the pv seems to stop at
3 mins, whilst the clock on the wall is going on all the time?
