This problem has been explained here several times and I think I'll have to add
a paragraph for this in my FAQ.

If you overclock too much you get a stellar performance index, but it is fake.
This is a problem with the clock generator (PLL) used by the DragonBall.

To avoid this, use a real stopwatch to monitor Chess Tiger while it is thinking.
If Chess Tiger's clock runs too slow, then you are too much overclocking and you
should select a lower clock speed in AfterBurner.
