There are a few other ListExt commands that are a bit slower than UserRPL equivalents but are valuable for the same reason. Not that I would complain if any of them were faster, of course. :-) The HP 50 is not exactly a speed demon and needs all the help it can get.

Yes, you're right of course. I think it's the fact that SPLIT invokes two separate SUB-like steps that bothers me. Splitting things in one step could be done, but it would significantly increase the code size (which is already bigger than I'd like).

I remember having some discussion at some point about a couple of "convenience commands" that weren't good performers, but right now can't recall which ones they were. If you happen to notice commands that fit in this category, please let me know and I'll add them to my list of things to check for possible updates. In the meantime I'll try to dig back and figure out what those were.
