I doubt the trend will always hold perfectly, but I bet it would hold the
majority of the time. Even this match holds most of the time. Only the
120min/game match doesn't hold. If you look at the margin of victory, it goes:

G/5    34 points
G/10   24 points
G/30   15 points
G/120  23 points

Only the last result increases. If you ran this test numerous times with many
different engines, I bet you'd see the trend of closer results with longer time
controls.

I will start to run some more test matches when I get home from work tonight.
