RE: Generating Constants in TI-57 ROM
Very interesting, indeed ! I'm always impressed by the degree of optimization which was the standard 40 years ago, driven by hardware limitations (almost totally forgotten in nowadays' products). The additional optimization by Claus Buchholz shows that it's a never-ending game.
It's also very clear that your work, HrastProgrammer, greatly illustrates what can be done with efficiency in mind -and much much talent !

BTW : I spent the last 2 years playing the optimization game on a hobby project, a programmable calculator which I built and programmed "the old way" around a 65C02 CPU. Its execution speed now averages 2500 steps/second. If interested, you can have a look at it here (was less optimized when I posted -as "Calculi") :
