I think they don't. A couple of nights ago I ran a tournament at 1 1, ponder off, 20 game matches on a P600E, 4MB hash each engine, with the following results: Hiarcs 7.32 55.5/80 Junior 6a 44/80 Fritz 6a 43.5/80 Crafty 17.10 32/80 Nimzo 7.32 25/80 The results of Hiarcs and Nimzo would have been very different at 40:2 ponder on, Hiarcs quite a bit lower and Nimzo much higher, as shown in the SSDF list and in some tournaments, including my own.
