Do you have a proof that Hiarcs7 is a little slow?
I read that it is good at tactics.

I care because sometimes it is not a question of 1 second or 4 seconds but a
question of 3 minutes or 3 hours.

I  think that all the top programs including Junior,Fritz and Nimzo
can help most humans in strategy.

Without strategy skills they have no chance against your programs.

If you do random moves (from moves that it is impossible for programs to see
that they lose material) then you can win only weak players and have no chance
against GM's.
