  I suspect that. If we go with the double the speed, increase 70 point rule, CT
should go from 2100 on a 42 Mhz Palm to around 2250 on 200 Mhz Palm. It would be
2320 on 400 Mhz Palm, and 2390 on 800 Mhz. These are of course estimates.

  Top programs on Pentium 90 on the latest SSDF are:

  65 Chess Tiger 11.8  Pentium 90 MHz        2382   43   -43   261   50%  2383
  70 Rebel 9.0 Pentium 90 MHz                2335   23   -23   890   47%  2357
  71 Hiarcs 6.0 Pentium 90 MHz               2333   18   -18  1437   51%  2329
  72 Genius 5.0 DOS Pentium 90 MHz           2329   18   -18  1558   47%  2348
  74 MChess Pro 6.0 Pentium 90 MHz           2310   17   -17  1726   45%  2343
  80 Nimzo 3.5 Pentium 90 MHz                2293   22   -22   998   46%  2323
  82 Junior 4.0 Pentium 90 MHz               2287   22   -22  1035   42%  2342
  82 Chessmaster 5000 Pentium 90 MHz         2287   49   -45   240   67%  2162
  84 Shredder 1.0 Pentium 90 MHz             2282   59   -58   145   53%  2263
  85 Nimzo 3.0  Pentium 90 MHz               2279   26   -25   767   58%  2221

  Let us assume that above programs' average is 2300. Granted that CT 15 is more
sophistaced than CT 11.8, but can a Palm program on a 200-400 MHz Palm be as
strong as a chess program on a Pentium 90? I have no idea about chip designs,
but I guestimate that a chip designed for a desktop, even if it is 5-6 years
old, can make up for the difference in speed compared to a chip designed to be a
help application.
