There will be multiple time controls, but they will be in sync, so

but when
you are finished you can play fast games while waiting. I will
have 2 or 3
levels of this, I haven't decided yet. If I have 3 levels, the
slowest
time control will probably need to be a little slower than CGOS uses
now.
That sounds fine for those bots that have implemented time controls.
Simple-minded bots that just play a given number of simulations, or
do other
things in (more or less) constant time will loose the too fast games
straight
out.
That's fine as long as the ratings are kept separate for each time
control.
The more I think about it, the more I think it's important that I
keep ratings separate for each time control.

Any chance of handicap games when there is a large rating imbalance?
