Maybe for you it is going to be boring but I think that it may be interesting
for programmers to see what weaknesses their program have at long time control.

If the programs are strong enough you cannot get better than 3-3 and if the
programs do losing mistakes even when they get many hours then learning what are
the mistakes that they do may be interesting for programmers.
