The result of the 5'+10 match was:
Shredder Classic - Shredder 6.02 23.0-17.0 (+16,=14,-10) TP=+52 Elo
68%->[+10,+102], 95%->[-31,+156]
(Numbers still from Shredder Classic gui)

Games:
Match 1

Match 2
http://norbase.sjakk.biz/pgnlist.php?inter=12&lang=en&headline=7&pgnfile=match2.pgn

So it is good enough, and more too, for my usage.
I don't think I will run more matches, but maybe some positional test suits to
check out the knoweledge/speed parametre.
