Hi,
there is one emulator with ok time-management:

Pose 30a2 with around 1000 nps
Pose 31 is the newest one. With switching off all logging and debugging options
it runs with normal palm speed but time-management is not ok!

I have this effect also on version 30a8 and this affects PalmGenius too (clock
runs 10 times too fast)!
