The difference is that Hiarcs7.32 is an engine for Fritz(both program are sold
by chessbase so chessbase should care that in engine-engine games it will not
happen.

I do not know about the case of Hiarcs7.32 but from my experience from
engine-engine matches[Junior against crafty or Fritz5(16 bit)] there is no
problem of eating CPU.

It is possible that the fact that the sides could not use the permanent brain
gave advantage fo Hiarcs7.32 because hiarcs7.32 does not clear the hash tables
after every move and the fact that it remember information from previous search
may be more significant without permanent brain.

It is also possible that the Hiarcs7.32 was lucky.

In computer games sometimes there are results of 8:2 between equal opponents
because one player was unlucky to choose openings that it does not understand.
