great position !

times on a 1700 Mhz Xeon (dual)
WinNT

both Rxh5 and Qxf4 are winning moves - Qxf4 leads to mate in 10 moves or so

Chessmaster 3000      Rxh5 68 seconds (around 600K nps) (kudos to this old DOS
program)

Deep Fritz            Qxf4 11 seconds - did not see mate in less than 2:00

Goliath Light 1.5     Rxh5 0-1 second - see mate in 10 after 6:03 - GL average
2,366,000 Nps on this machine (nice effort!)

Genius 3 (DOS Boot with 32 MB extended memory)
Rxh5 0-1 second ; Qxf5 11 seconds - sees mate in 10 @ 1:39 --- way to go Richard
Lang's Blast from the PAST! G2 was slightly slower.

Fritz 3 did not like this position - didn't play Rxh5 until the 4:54 mark
HIARCS 3 & 6 did not play either move after  3 minutes

Chess Tiger 14 Rxh5 after 14 seconds or so -- did not see mate after 3:00

Ipaq 221 Mhz (oc):
Pocket Fritz Rxh5 ~7:20 or so
Pocket Genius  did not play either move after  10 minutes

Palm Vx 32 Mhz
Genius - did not play either move after 10 minutes
Tiger - did not play either move after 10 minutes
