It's not unusual to lose in 30 moves. Top GMs have done it against not-so-top
GMs. But you are right, it happens less often with programs.
But I have seen CM 5555 get knocked by Hiarcs in some 20 moves, so it can be
done.

Permanent Brain (= thinking on opponent's time) disabled. Not Hiarcs-specific,
though, just about every program can do this (either by an explicit option or by
using some small tricks).
