A longer time control helps the program with more weaknesses, because it has more time to search deeper and cover up its weaknesses. This is why we often hear people say that "engine X is very strong at long time controls", but at shorter time controls they don't say that, because its weaknesses get exposed and it isn't as strong. I have played lots of test games at different time controls, and looked at the results of other people's tournaments where different time controls were used, and this is the trend I have seen in almost all cases.
