It took Chess Genius v1.5 1:39, curiously longer than your result. On my 206 MHz Pocket PC, it took Pocket Fritz only about 3 seconds to get it. Genius 1.3 beta solved it in 4 seconds like yours did. So my Pocket Fritz was over 10 times faster, but my Genius was no faster. (The 3100 iPaq uses a slower CPU, right?)
