Think about this.  the GM had 150 minutes on his clock.  He was playing 4
programs out of that pool of time.  Which turns into almost game/40 type
time control from his perspective.  With one _HUGE_ difference.  The GM
was having to keep track of 4 games at once, which is significantly harder
than to play a single game/40 game.

I think the GM did wonderfully well considering that.  I have seen similar
type events where the GM got shredded at that time control.  It isn't
unexpected at all...

If I had been playing him with 4 copies of Crafty at the same time, I would
not have been happy with a 2-2 split, at all...  Not at that fast time
control.
