Hard data from ICC shows that in general the comps rating increases with faster time controls agains humans, also there are some humans that play better under time pressure than at longer time controls and they have higher blitz ratings as well. There are many possible factors that can make a difference for human performance. Stress (time pressure) can improve performance in some humans and reduce performance in others. Concentration periods are maximized at different intervals for diffenent individuals. There is a large body of research on "performance" both mental and physical in the health literature. A similar example is the person that studies all semester to get an "A" in a class vs the person that crams the entire semester in to one week or one night to an "A" in the class. On a personal note, I play best at G/30, but practice at slower time controls. > >> >>More time also benefits the programs.
