Time controls too fast.  Swiss format only defines strongest and weakest program
and seedings are crucial in that format.  Unless a very large number of programs
join, why not round robin?

Why not let the programs run at night or on some dedicated machine and play G/60
or slower?  I also suggest playing at least two games between each pair of
programs so that no bias exists in the resulting data.
