I used both the Mac and the Linux versions of all recent polyglot versions
(starting with v1.2) and never had a loss off time in blitz (5min) games.
Polyglot uses 0% CPU time itself, and engines using polyglot cannot be
disdinguished form a native xboard engines, neither on my 400 Mhz Mac nor on my
amd64 3400+ Linux system.
Therefore I can't reproduce your problems.
