(like the Rb8 problem) It's up to the user -- I usually wait until there is clear winning score combine with a clear winning position. There are positions that may give false winning scores.

On palms you can set up button with any app ..so just set up two buttons one for Genius and one for Tiger. Tiger vs Genius on the same Palm Vx was no contest. Tiger was clearly the stronger engine from my recollection. At least 100+ points. This was the older Palm Roma engine, the new Chess genius app is a newer engine and it is stronger than the Roma engine. Chess Genius on a Pocket PC Xscale is very strong - it crushes the Star Diamond although the number of games i have played is very limited and my opinion is just an impression based on few games.
