My dm-42 gets an answer in under 1 second on battery and even faster when plugged in.

Both of my calculators seem to be much faster than the reported times.

Also, they both get an answer of 8 in the Y-reg and an answer of 36 in the X-reg.

I just copied the corresponding program into the calculator that was listed on the site.

I'm referring to:

Using the program listed for the DM42 on the linked page, my DM42 gets about the same time as listed there (between 4-5 secs) on battery power, and about 2 secs with USB plugged in.

The correct results should be 876 (not 36) so there is probably an error (maybe a skipped line) in the code you entered.
