That is a strange result, as I have Hiarcs 9.7 analysing this position too.
The engine is set to the default settings with 2048Kb hash.It has been looking at the position for over an hour and has the following output.
D12 5014s -0.23 Rxb2 Rxb2 Nxb2
D12 Qg8 4/37 38922972N.
As you can see it is now considering Qg8 but has not confirmed if it is the best this is now after 2hours and 43 sec.
If any one can reproduce the 28 secs with a Palm T5 or even T3 overclocked I will be amazed.
Yep, 29 Secs on a standard T5 (not overclocked), standard hash table of 2MB at time control G/30 !
D8 29s -0.26 Qg8
Actually the Res II-Engine X results don't look that impressive compared to my 'lowly' Palm (the HIARCS always seems very impressive on the Palm Intel Intel PXA261).
cheers, Mark
it is no surprise to me that Hiarcs on your Palm scores better then Engine X on the Res
after all ..the program you are using is ...

could it be that hiarcs rus without hash on those emulations ?
Yes, as I always had my suspicions that the StyleTap version was different when I follow games played by Palm Hiarcs using the PPC the moves don't match.
I think this is a problem with the StyleTap emulation,as alot of programs that ran on my Palm T5 do not work properly when I try them on my PPC.
But most of the time when testing PPC Hiarcs the best move is still found in reasonable time, but I no longer can trust the output to be the same as the Palm version.
Lets hope that Mark will fix this situation by creating a native PPC version after the Palm version update.
Thanks Pascal, following your last post I decided to install Scid for PPC on my PPC and test some of the many engines that are available.
The best was Glaurung 1.2.1 which took 24 secs to see Qg8 as best and gave evaluation as 0.0 as the line was a perpetual, and took a total of just about 5 minutes to see an advantage, by this stage it was getting 37100 nps.
Next on the list was Viper 0.1 which just took 27 secs to see Qg8 evaluate to 0.0 and was getting 106153 nps, then after 3min 13 secs it sees advantage.
