Speed: Free42 vs Hp prime application on android (and if possible, other emulators)

I know this (and it is a great work!). But I would expect the dev from HP to employ more polished code. It is a matter of manhours. Thomas is alone vs a dev team that is made by multiple people.

Maybe for some procedures the available libraries in C are already well beyond being polished, bur for others I would expect the HP team to have an advantage.

Of course, I could be wrong, indeed I am asking.
