01 LBL "TEST"
02 0
03 STO 00
04 STO 01
05 LBL 01
06 SIN
07 E^X
08 STO+ 00
09 1
10 STO+ 01
11 7200
12 RCL 01
13 X<Y?
14 GTO 01
15 RCL 00
16 RTN

The details and results are in his post at the following link.

The DM32 takes about 8 seconds to run this test (on battery or USB power).
The DM42 takes about 25 seconds on battery or 10 seconds on USB power.

For reference, a real HP-32SII takes a bit over 15 minutes for this test.

It took my HP 35S 138 seconds to reach a count of 720. So the full count of 7200 for this test would take approximately 1380 seconds or about 23 minutes to complete. That 6502 CPU core on the HP 35S was really working hard for this test
