Yeah, I've heard figures of a few minutes. I've even heard five to ten
minutes, though I've never actually tested it. This was with nonstandard
Palm hardware though.

I guess my question would be, how many ms? Perhaps more useful info would
be how many instructions can you execute per fraction-of-a-farad of
supercap, and what size is the supercap on the Palm?
