Is the Prime the fastest calculator ever made?

It just is a layer that converts python like syntax into the underlying CAS syntax. So it still ends up doing calculations through the CAS code which is considerably slower then the normal calculator code which I suspect would be faster then the python on the numworks...

Thanks very much for that explanation, TIM! I'm not a CAS user, so I don't know how to distinguish stuff like that.
