From the loops of addition speed benchmark:

TI-66
Count: 210
Code: + 1 = RST

TI 58C
Count: 387
Code: + 1 = RST

TI-59
Count: 635
Code: 1 + RST


I believe the TI-66 despite having alpha key legends in programs and LCD and two-three years younger was a BIG step back in speed compared to the 58/59.

I did not realize the 59 was so much faster than the 58; about 1.6 times faster here, but was it that much faster in general? And are these counts for 1 minute?
