Results from CM9_R1 on an AMD 2500:

Here are the positions that were not fully solved within 5 minutes:
14 (showed Bb8 with a draw score)
15 (showed fxe8=Q with a draw score)
17 (showed Ke7 with a +3.4 score)
19 (showed Nd5+ with a +7.52 score)
20 (showed Kf1 with a +10.41 score)
21 (showed Qd4 with a +3.56 score)

Of the solved positions, these were the only ones that took more than 10
seconds:
3 (47s)
10 (1m 22s)
12 (2m 51s)
13 (26s)

I can't remember The King's exact limitations, but there is some mate length >20
at which The King that is in CM9000 cannot announce mate. Somebody might want to
try the "not solved" positions with the version in CMX000 to see if that might
improve things.
