Thanks for clarifying. That is interesting and hard for me to reconcile, as I mentioned, unless the 50g devices themselves are that variable.

I'm not sure what you mean about the 50g devices being variable. I believe the times for the same code on different 50g's should be similar. The fact that the modified code object runs faster is due to the simplification of the code.

Code:

A 3, * B +

I missed something here. What does the comma do? Is that 50g-speak for integer in this example?

The comma forces the 49/50 calculator to compile the "3" as a real instead of an integer value. Whether you use the comma or a period as the fraction mark depends on the mode settings for your specific calculator.
