Hmmm...

I recall installing Pocket Fritz a while back on a 400 MHz XScale, and it only
got around 4-5Knps, give or take. Jorge Pichard said that his comparable PDA
(400 MHz XScale) was overclocked a bit, and that he got something like 75Knps.
It turned out that when he overclocked, it messed up the internal clock and the
nodes per second that the program reported were not accurate. I wonder if this
is the case here, because going from Pocket Fritz 2's 5Knps to over 100Knps on
hardware that is very similar is questionable IMO, even if it is a different
program (over 20x faster on more or less equal hardware?).

I wouldn't trust these numbers unless they came from a stock PDA with no
overclocking or other "enhancements" that could fudge up the numbers.
