How did you get factor of 20

Suppose average game is 60 moves.

120 minutes/40 moves is translated to 180 minutes/game(practically it is even
less than it because in tournament you may have 120 minutes/40 moves+1 hour for
the rest of the game).

20 minute/game with ponder off is translated to 20/1.5 minutes/game with ponder
off so even after this calculations you get 180/20*1.5=13.5

Note that 20 minutes/game with ponder off suggest hardware that is 3 times
faster than PIV 2 ghz
