Subject: Hiarcs8 better at shorter time controls!?

Some results of Hiarcs8 v CM8000(CMFun personality) at various time controls,
on an 800MHz Duron, 16Mb hash each, Hiarcs with own book, CMFun with Fritz6's.

At G/2' blitz:

Hiarcs8 +67 -38 =35 (60.36%)

At G/30':

Hiarcs8 +15 -16 =10 (48.78%)

At 120'/40+60'/20+30':

Hiarcs8 +0 -2 =1

Combining the two slower time controls:

Hiarcs8 +15 -18 =11

So contrary to my and others' original impressions, Hiarcs8 seems to perform
better at shorter time controls than longer.

I also wonder whether it might do better in single-computer engine matches with
no pondering, than standard two-machine auto232 games: is it out-pondered by
other engines?
