Melinda, thank you!
no, log files are not compatible. I said only about twist counters. I think that it’s possible to write convertor of log files (main problem will be transformation of puzzle state map), but I’m not sure that we need it.
Speedsolving of 5D is nice idea. My last result of 3^5 was about 6 hours (without prepared macro file). It’s possible to do it in one session, but if it’ll take more time, there may be a problem. And do you mean simultaneous start and/or same starting position? Both items may be a problem (because of different software and very different time zones), but they are solvable (with some efforts of organizers).
The best place for the "shortests" section in the 5D is, probably, Remi’s "Hall of Shortests" with it’s histories of records.

Good luck!
Andrey
