It is the time management.

1. The time management is different if you play blitz or 40/120.
2. The only data I have got is that Shredder did and maybe still does much worse
in g/180 than in 40/120+60 although all in all this is almost the same time
control. If the results would be almost identical, you are right. My experience
showed me s.th. different.
I do not have the machines to prove that, sorry. And there will be no proof
until someone does the test.
