Now for the big (30, 60) case:

Just one question: the quoted time (91.38 seconds) applies when your program is run on what machine ? A physical HP-71B ? If not, what's the time for a physical HP-71B ?

With the various machines and platforms running HP-71 code (Android, Windows, go71, Emu71/Win, Emu71/DOS w/ or w/o DOSBox), it's difficult to compare execution times.
Downloading and running each code on a physical HP-71 is not convenient, and not everybody has the means to do it - although they should :-)

So I propose the use Valentin's solution as the reference.
Here are the results for my solution:
VA's reference solution: 91"
my solution : 63" = 0.69 in Valentin's units :-)
Note I used the symmetry of the problem.
