The match that is organized by chessbase is
3 or 4 days per move and he talked about similiar conditions so I guess at least
3 days per move.

I agree with peter that in theory he can use many processors but I tend to
believe that practically people do not buy many fast computers only for
correspondence chess and when some people play together against one person they
have time advantage.
