I think there is an assumption that slow searchers and fast searchers have the same branching factor and also that you get the same elo increase from 5 plies to 6 plies and the question if you are a fast searcher or a slow searcher is not relevant. I think that the last assumption is wrong because slow searchers simply can see more tactics at the same depth because a big evaluation can tell you things about tactics(for example that there is a fork).
