I agree with Ingo here. Computers do better at faster time controls relative to humans. It's true that they play better with more time but so do humans and humans benefit even more from additional time. To me that is just an indisputable fact.
It's true that I feel this way due to years of experience in computer chess - but in computer chess it's incontestable, the faster the play the more the computers benefit. It's not a minor thing either, it's major. People have tried to make the argument that it works completely different in GO, but nobody has ever backed this up with anything concrete, only their own subjective "explanations" about why humans play much better at fast time controls. It's always easy to produce plausible arguments or explanations for just about anything - but it's a different matter when you want to speak in realities. Still, the longer time controls promises a much higher level game, for both the human and the computer. And I think that is a good thing. If the computer is victorious I would not want anyone saying that the match conditions were stacked in favor of the computer. If the computer is not victorious then it doesn't deserve to be. We should have these type of matches under conditions that are the most ideal for humans within reason.
