Then they have a bad expectation.  Every program makes horrible moves on a slow
machine at game in one minute.

Even if the machine is fast, most programs will make awful blunders from time to
time at that time control.

The programs that do not crash or even the programs that do not lose on time
overage will still make really bad choices.

I submit that on a 300 MHz machine, there is no program anywhere that plays well
at G/1

At any rate, the slower the machine and the faster the time control, the more
silly and absurd the output.

But you already knew that, of course.
