You control the computer thinking time by setting the time control, through the Options -> Time Control... menu dialog. If you only want only the computer to move faster, and not you, you should specify a time-odds factor for engine #1 in that dialog. E.g. if you set the TC for 40 moves/10 min, and then specify time odds of 60, the computer will have to do 40 moves in 10 sec.

If you started up Winboard in "play engine match" mode, then go to options.
Under options, choose the dialog called time control.
