I don't have Fritz 2 and I onoy have  a 206MHz arm - but with Fritz 1 I get
about 5K NPS.  I would think that you should get about 9K.  What I don't
understand in the 90K NPS?  I wonder if the overclock application has distorted
the internal timings.

The way to test this is to set it on a position - search x depth deep, manually
time the machines and then compare the two results.  The next generation Pocket
PC was not going to be 20x faster than the previous.  Something sounds _wrong_.
