Yes, I think G/45 would have helped GM Gulko and perhaps other GM's, any weakness by the computer is magnified at faster time controls, if the GM can manage time well and is prepared, then the shallow search depth by the computer is a benefit, not a liability. Some (not all) can take advantage of this.
