Longest ever for me were larger instances of the 8 queens problem on a 71B. The largest was 256 queens which took about 24 hours, and that was with the inner loop coded in assembly!
I also did several fractals on the 71B printed directly to the 2225B Thinkjet printer. They took several hours each IIRC.

Was doing some overclocking comparisons among TI and Casio calcs, the "benchmark" took the longest to finish is a GARCH parameter estimation on Nspire with a data set of 1000 sample from S&P500 index. Took more than 2 hours.
