Subject: Why do computers go on thinking after time imposed ?

Hello,

I'm still surprised to see how computers have "difficulty" to respect the rythm
of playing that I impose them. I mean : as soon as a game is out of book of
computers generally ( CM6000, Hiarcs 6.0, Win Chess etc.), these cannot play a
move every 30 seconds as I want them to do. They can wait sometimes more than 2
minutes before playing their next move. How can you explain this ? Do
programmers want to be sure their machine has not missed a winning move ?
Technical reasons ?
Any suggestion welcome.
