Subject: Junior 5 search? What is it doing?

I have noticed that after every ply iteration Junior 5 'pauses' and displays
something like '7. --' in the move being considered window.  The pause can be
for as long as 5 seconds - especially in tactical positions. AFAIK no other
program does this - at least not for as long.

Does anyone know what it is doing?

Could it be updating it's piece-square tables based upon the last iteration?
What new information could it be assimilating.  Is it doing some form of Null
move at the root?  I cann't see the benefit of this.
