HP 32SII speed differences

[rprosperi]

Did both machines start with the exact same memory conditions? E.g. did one have other programs or variables defined that the other didn't? I know nothing of the internals, but amount of available memory could well affect the performance.

Also, had the program been run more than once on one or the other machines? Are internal jump distances stored after the first run, etc.?

I'd do the exact same setup on both (full h/w reset, enter program, run program 1st time) to be sure of consistent conditions. These are good practices of course, but in this case, I'd guess they make no difference.
