Whatever the eventual decision is - personally I would love a fast-play
venue as an alternative, with separate rating - please don't worry too
much about engines with fixed playouts, or engines that cannot handle
certain time limits.
The GTP client sitting between the engine and server will be able to
protect the engine, by either keeping it out of games it cannot support
or issuing it with reconfiguration commands.

I vote for 2 venues, each optional. Separate rating pools is a must.

Maybe we could agree that 1 day out of 7 in a week would be played on
6 times faster time controls.
The same bots, connections, logins, the same number of games per week.
Different rating of course.
This would be a problem only for hardcoded bots with no time control.
The advantage would be that we would see how different algorithms
(bots) scale.
If the ratings would be very similar for most bots, it would mean that
we can get faster testing of new ideas.
We would know which ideas can be tested of fast time control.

going
to do is to provide venues which are standalone but makes it
possible later
to add a time control. In other words for now there will be only
1 time
control per board size but the server will be flexible enough that
other
venues can be added if the server ever gets popular enough that we
have 40
or 50 players always on line. But they will be separate venues
scheduled
independently.
