It seems others also prefer 16. g4. I have no idea how long the move
took to make nor if in analysis it will reject g4 at a certain point.

Maybe Christian could check, but others in limited time modes would
alos play this move: As the time controls were 40/40' it can be guessed
the move took maybe 2 minutes.

Crafty 17-13N takes 3:30 on my machine to switch to Bg3.
Fritz 6b takes 0:46 to switch to Bg3.
