In my tests with Fritz 8 GUI there is a litte time before the Fritz GUI shows the PV and thinking lines of Spike, but much less than 3-5 sec (more 1 at most 2 sec.). It depends a little on the GUI output of Fritz. If Fritz-GUI is moving it´s positional-score graph to the left, the amount of time to display Spikes results increases a litte. All this has "not much" effect on the playing strength of spike. Spike does immediatly start to search and supports even very short time controls (bullet). "Not much" means that in blitz any UCI-Engine has a little processor-time disadvantage compared to engines that uses the native interface. If you read this answer, please let us know witch version of Fritz you use and what processor you have got (maybe a slower processor will take more time?). Greetings Volker
