asmFish and Cute Chess : bad time management

i tested asmFish in Cute Chess to play against other engines .. i also managed to add "SunFish PY" : https://github.com/ScallyBag/sunfish .. usually (!?) asmFish seems to act brave concerning time management, it uses a lot of time in the opening and middle game and often has just a few seconds left when playing the end game .. normally this goes well : asmFish reaches a good position and is able to convert it to a win, just having a few seconds left until time control (40 moves) - especiallyy when i give some seconds increment asmFish plays well .. but in the following game -set without increment- asmFish loses on time !? although it has a mate coming ..

no other engine i tested has such extreme time management ..
