That's very true.

Regarding the test result of the CX II CAS: 2.9 seconds seems quite slow in comparison with the older
Nspire models. One possible reason could be a significant overhead or using the approx mode.
Could you please retest the CX II with the code in post #187 for confirmation? I've added a FOR loop
for minimizing the overhead effect and more accuracy.

OK, I reran using your code. The time was 25 seconds making the time for one iteration about 2.5 seconds. My reaction time is quite slow!
