If Kramnik or Kasparov were playing at instant time, or even 1 minute per game,
I think their level of play would be quite weak.
  I don't see the real need of concentrating on making programs to play 2-300
elo points higher on lightning speed than at longer controls, much more so than
the way humans do it.
  I don't even see what the great fun is in testing it. It's a little bit
interesting, but not all that much. I don't think it can be used to demonstrate
the quality of the program. Maybe the contrary is true, as the longer timings
are the interesting thing.
