I'm not sure what you are asking - but PF2 got 45K nps at 472 Mhz

With the xscale factor automatcially adjusting the speed, I have not noticed any
issues - but in general - I do not use pondering and I do not let the PDA
"think" for a very long time even though I have set it to 472Mhz.  The setting
is not "sticky" - so everytime it powers off, it goes back to 400 Mhz.   The
x-scale processor automatically increases/decrrease Mhz depending the processor
usage.  That function appears to work very well - obviously while running a
chess program, it scales up to full speed.

I did play one 30 minute game WITH pondering and NOT overclocking with the unit
plugged in - the unit developed a warm spot near the battery area.  I thought
that was strange because I have never noticed any PDA ever develope a warm spot
anywhere before while running before - but I also never had a 400 Mhz unit
before either.
