That's somehow to 'easy calculated'. I think that if our application needs
about 1sec for a query on a non-clustered-memory system (only using standard
mysql harddisc files), then it won't take 20min on a mysql-cluster with
hard-
drive emulated memory. Why should it? It then would use the same technology
to
store and query data from (in both cases hard-drive) perhaps needing some
more 
time to execute because of some overhead mysql-cluster daemon generates -
but
that's all. Your calculation seems somehow nonsens to me (sorry!).
