So you basically play 1 game at a time - 1 per server.
I suggest that you will play many more games if you play them in bigger
batches, perhaps 3 or 4 games each. When you finish a 9x9 game, you
will likely have a long wait for a 19x19 games.
Could you get a bit more clever? When a 19x19 game is complete, there
is a very good chance you have time to play a 9x9 game before the next
19x19 round starts.
That of course depends on how quickly housebot and it's opponent plays
the 19x19 game and where the 9x9 scheduling point is.
Even if you don't get too clever, this might be a better order:
while (true)
loop N times
play a 19x19 game
play a 9x9 game
endloop
play N games on KGS
outerLoop
The idea is that you might get to play a 19x19 AND a 9x9 in the time it
would take to play 1 19x19 game on average.
However, if you "miss the bus" (do not finish 9x9 game before the 19x19
starts)
it might be WORSE than some other method.
