RAM to ROM

Not at all. You can create backups to Flash, which can be seen as pseudo-ROM depending on the perspective, but it isn't really ROM.

If your calc slows down during program run, then it could be proportional to the amount of data to be managed.
Each data element to be added to the list will produce a new list in RAM,
and propably still reserve room for the old list.
So if there are thousands of elements, the amount of RAM used for new incarnations of the list will grow with big steps.
This and the needed garbage collections will take time, and thus slow down the machine.

But it could also mean that there are too many pending returns from recursions.

While recursions can be elegant from a mathematican's view,
you could try to flatten program run, by trying to eliminate some return levels.
I did this at least once in the past in a program for the HP 48, and it worked well.

There may be other causes, but those mentionned above came into my mind first.
