Not to mention you have to actually operate them. I've lose a 120/40 30SD
game on time in the last world championships. I've seen several of people lose
90SD games on time in Leiden. The blitz worldchampionship is played at 7" and
the  majority of games seems to be decided on time.

I don't think operator skills should be relevant to who ends up winning,
but by shortening things, I'll be even worse than what it is today.
