If you give programs more time then they become stronger. I do not think that there are good programs that have nothing then search to generate strength. If you change the evaluation function of top programs(including fast searchers like Fritz) to evaluation that count only the material on the board then you will get a very weak program(It will have no chance even against FM's).
