I know that Fritz5 and Junior5 are fast searchers and Hiarcs7 is a slow
searcher.

I do not think your assumption are right because Junior5 lost against Hiarcs7 at
blitz games and won Hiarcs7 at slower time control in enrique's games.

I also read that Hiarcs7 is a good solver of tactical positions.
