This really depends on how you count.
The DL4 has 14 seconds, which doubles to 28s in half-speed (with reduced 
audio quality). For the Eventide, it's 12s, or 6s doublespeed, 24s 
halfspeed and 48s ins quarterspeed (40, 20, 80 and 160 respectively for 
the Eclipse algorithms). Note that due to different sampling rates, the 
Eventide's "halfspeed" should come out about the same quality as the 
DL4's "normal speed".
