That, and also the fact that all of these GBA/SNES/etc PocketPC applications are emulators for the corresponding game system. Therefore, the X-Scale processor in the PocketPC is having to run the WM2003 operating system and also run the emulator software.....and on top of this, the emulator software is having to "pretend" to be a different system with a different processor, different graphics chip, different memory, etc. So there is a whole lot of stuff going on back there.
