Some Winboard adapters (I don't know exactly which ones) send a reset after each
move.  That effectively kills pondering.  It is about like a 50% time penalty.
I suggested to counteract this that Winboard programs could have a "paranoid"
mode where they simply ignore the reset command.  Just keep on pondering and if
the new move does not fit, *then* worry about a reset.
