I took your program and put it on the HP-67. Same result in 1 m 16 s. The other HP-55 program when run on the hp-67 had run a little less than twice as fast, while this ran a little more than twice as fast. With the exception of the label for the goto, the programs are identical.

I assume that the difference is that this program is longer and the penalty for the non-merged instructions is making the difference.
