Just today i've done a little test of the new release of Freccia, against the very stronger program Delfi. There were no chance for Freccia, obviously. What i've noticed is that at one minute per game, Freccia looses in no more than 18 moves. In 30 minutes games, instead, Freccia looses in about 32 moves. What it means, for your question? IMHO it means that a longer TC tends to make different programs on the same level. So, if you modify your program, as long is your TC and as difficult is to see any improvement; this is true not for the time you have to spend, but for the fact that the two version tends to be equal when you increase the TC.
