I wrote a basic loop and executed it on the Prime...

EXPORT TEST()
BEGIN
FOR I FROM 1 TO 1000000 STEP 1 DO END;
PRINT("DONE.");
END;

To count up from 1 to a million took the Prime about 11.5 seconds.

Can anyone who has an Nspire perform the same test and see how long it takes? If you have a Prime, do you get similar results to mine? Does performance vary much from calculator to calculator? Just curious...

My Prime did it in 11.38 sec (timed using TEVAL). I did take out the step value, however. It's not needed when the step is 1.
