Yes. 5 minutes and 30 seconds, roughly.

To be semantically correct, every program "considers" gxf5, as they also
consider Bxe4 (and invariably reject it). However, Insomniac, no matter what the
time control (assuming it thinks for 330 seconds or less), would never play
gxf5. It forces itself to finish ply 6, in which case it chooses Ba4.
