from observing I can say that at least komodo now tries to use it time before it starts to losing. Before this version it often had deadly lost position and a lot of time on the clock in it...

Yes, we have finally fixed that problem. The time management code had some very clever stuff in it that worked well on one thread but was increasingly bad with many threads. We removed it and went with a more conventional approach.
Komodo rules!
