Go up one level in this thread

Wrong. All available data shows that for ratings, time control does not matter,
unless it is very small. Even bullet tournaments have highly similar ratings in
most cases. What really matters is consistent testing conditions and the number
of games played.

SSDF tests on 1 Ghz Pcs , IIRC. CEGT tests on time control of 40/40 on 2 Ghz pc.
Therefore CEGT time control is equivalent to 1Hr20Min per 40 moves on SSDF
hardware which is quite ok.
