I think 150 - 200 is *way* too low.  I made my estimate based on Shredder.  On a
P3 800 MHz it will do something like 150 - 200 knps while on an iPAQ it does 5
knps i.e. x 30 to x 40, which corresponds to an index of 600 - 800.  This figure
is probably not optimising for the iPAQ so I toned it down to 400.  IMHO it's at
least 400.

Regards,

Steve
