I think he would probably develop his own ideas first, then use the computer for checking his tactical variations mostly. Kramnik said something to that effect when speaking about advanced chess. He said something along the lines of how the biggest thing he liked about it was that he didn't have to do all of the tactical analysis and he could let the computer do that for him, and he could focus more on his strategy. I'm not sure how much of an improvement a GM like Gulko would get from using a program against the world's top 10, but I see no reason why it would hinder his performance. Russell
