You can find out if games stay in book longer with longer time controls if you keep an average of the number of book moves that the engine stays in book. It depends on the engine also. I have the impression Crafty finds book moves better than Yace at the same time control. And The King is also pretty good. Of course if this trend holds it may imply that autogenerated ametuer books might even be weaker than no books when faced against Professional books, since the autogenerated books will stay in book longer with greater chances of falling into a trap!
