I am quite sure he just confuses the delayed _display_ of depth with real
depth, as often too much info for several depths arrives at the same
milli sec. in the GUIs and moreover different GUIs have different updating
periods of PVs. If he would have a look in debugs/logs I am sure he would
realize that.
If he has a different problem he should have posted some details and
proofs, like logs etc. I did not respond to this before as it was simply
nonsense for me and I sweared to myself not to answer to anonymous accounts
with fishy mail addies anymore.(In my experience > 80% of them are trolls
in various appearances)

Of course I had zero problems with your Polyglot regarding performance
of UCI programs in thousands of games(and I also have still 1000s of logs
and debugs here, which can prove this).
Thanks again for Polyglot Fabien.
