Subject: Relationship of strength and time control

Imagine a graph where the strength of chess program is the vertical axis and
time control is the horizontal axis. What would be the shape of the line?

A straight, climbing line, with the program getting stronger as the time control
lengthens?  Or does the line curve, gradually flattening out beyond a particular
time control? If the latter, it would be interesting to know where that
levelling out occurs. In other words, to know that if I play program A at 30 0
it will be twice as strong as at 15 0, but that at 60 0 it's only 50 per cent
stronger than at 30 0, and at 120 0 the gain in strength over 60 0 drops to,
say, 25 per cent . . .
