That's a good argument, I guess I'd like to see testing both ways in ponder on
matches.  I think separate EGTBs for running two ponder off matches would be a
clear win, though.

As people have mentioned elsewhere, matches using tablebases can be hard on disk
drives, so even if you are just using one tablebase directory it might be a good
idea to keep them on a separate drive.
