Subject: Pocket PC: NPS and rating

1.  Why is there such a difference in Nodes Per Second in Pocket PCs when
compared with PCs?  e.g. Shredder on my Athlon 1200 Mhz might do 180,000 NPS for
a given position, whereas my StrongArm 200 Mhz does only 4,500 NPS for the same
position.  That's a factor of 40 - I was optimistically expecting it to be
closer to the ratio in processor speeds.

2.  Anybody have a stab at how much this reduces the SSDF quoted rating by?

cheers!
