Here is Junior7's analysis of the same position(I had not Junior7 at the time of
the analysis)
It also wants to sacrifice but the evaluation is negative and I suspect that it
may change it's mind later

I expect it to be faster on faster hardware and one of the reason is not the
speed difference but the fact that it may jumps faster to depth 18.

going from depth 15 to 16 to 17 to 18 is probably slower than going from depth
15 to 17 to 18 but when Junior does not know the target time it start to do
small jumps of 1 after few minutes.

It is possible to prevent this problem by using some long tournament time
control before starting long analysis like 10 hours for 10 moves but Junior may
give different analysis because of different contempt so it is possible that we
need to change the contempt parameter in order to get similiar analysis(the
default contempt of Junior for analysis is 0 when the default contempt for
playing is 0.15 pawn).
