Subject: variable knowledge evaluation

I am still exploring some ideas and before doing anything that is already known
to be useless I prefer asking here if it is worth it:

Some programs are known to be good blitz players and other seem to prefer longer
time controls. One of the reasons for it might be that the amount of knowledge
in the evaluation. I wonder if anybody did (or does) try to use more or less
knowledge depending on the time controls ?

Same idea for hardware speed. Recent posts stated that some new strong engines
might be weaker on slow hardware than older ones. Many programs evaluate
computer speed when started, do they tweak their evaluation according to this ?

(I am just talking here about eval and not search. The fact that some search
techniques benefit more than others of faster machines has already been
discussed here)
