2464.74 30 60 9.51234350205E-6

Thus, a little over 41 minutes.

To restore a little the HP-75 prestige, the same post #62 program (with minor changes°) runs on the 75 as:

1353.469 30 60 9.51234350246E-6

About 23 minutes, or about 2x faster than the HP-71.
Of course the price of the 75, at the time, was also in the prestige class.

° Changes:
5 OPTION BASE 0 @ REAL A(1,527)
10 INPUT "[VA]SRC012A R,S= "; R,S @ T0=TIME
20 REDIM A(1,(R+1)*(R+4)/2) @ P=0
25 MAT A=ZER ! init vars
170 DISP TIME-T0;R;S;T/6^S (I hate to change the clock setting with SETTIME)
