But who is really interested in how well a program manages time.

If you want to reduce the effect of time management then I think that using time control of x moves for y minutes is better. Note also that there are tricks like different search at different time controls and Junior may jumps from depth 12 to depth 14 in one time control and jumps from depth 12 to depth 15 in another time control.
