Han, how does the Prime performs?

I do have a Ti89, but I did not use it for years and refreshing the Ti basic now is a no go.

Using the TEVAL command, the hardware calculator returns 0.828 seconds for the 1429-th Hamming number.

And it takes the Prime 133.468 seconds to compute the 9733-rd value. I created a CAS equivalent function in order to handle larger numbers, which ran slightly slower (3.167 seconds) than the non-CAS version when computing the 1429-th value.
