Go up one level in this thread
In a nutshell (whew, that was a long post to read), I think the issue should be handled by the creator of the program. The program should analyze the system it is running on at startup and should default it's settings for optimal execution based on the time controls picked by the operator. The program should then display the chosen settings (including hardware, OS, opening book, etc.) and possibly metrics (such as NPS or opponent move hit percentage) within it's output. Like all other portions of a program, the creator of a program should be responsible for testing default settings to ensure that they are optimized and should not rely on the testers to "figure it out" for them.
