Thanks for posting, Roy.
21 sec is as expected for 33MHz (42 sec x 16 / 33).

On Dec. 15, I wrote on CCC :
My benchmark :
set 3mn per move
play e4
get e5 response
then play a4, and measure the time it takes to depth 7.

On the original Palm V (16MHz), it takes 42 sec
With maximum overclocking (using Afterburner II), I get 17.5 sec
