If you use ponder=on on one machine only and have enough time (at last 40 moves in 40 minutes), the Chessbase GUI will give them both the same CPU usage after a bit. However it is true that with non-Chessbase engines the GUI don't work this way, probably because it doesn't handle the engine directly. Sincerely, Fabio.
