Differences could be in search, evaluation, special opening book, >time management, or whatever. It probably depends on the opponent. If playing a human, I'd prefer a computer to speed things up if the human gets into time control. The more the game gets "compressed" the more likely the human is to crash and burn. But if plahying a computer, speeding up is probably the wrong idea as you limit yourself to seeing what your opponent sees if you move as quickly as he does.
