May I suggest that these two seperate Chess programs be compared based upon
search depth and not time.

Reasoning:  

One program may have an efficient depth search, allowing it to look deeper
faster.  So based upon time, it would always look further ahead in play. 
Giving it a slight strategic advantage.  

The other program with a less efficient depth search, and allowed to
obtain the same depth of the first program, may (or may not) 'discover'
alternate moves which the first program rejected for efficiency.

Now, I am not saying that Zillions will perform better than ChessV if it
was giving this consideration.  Only that it would be a fair evaluation of
the strength of these programs, rather than their speed.
