Hi everybody, I was messing around with some old machines last night and thought I would see which one ran the fastest. The results were a bit surprising to me. The three machines were a 15c, 34c, and 29c. I put three different types of identical programs into each machine (one that had many calls to subroutines, one that was just a simple counting loop, and one that was just a string of transcendental functions back to back). I was careful to put the programs in the same relative position within program memory in all three machines as well.
Now the (surprizing) results...the 29C outran the other two machines in all three types of programs! I wouldn't have expected the oldest machine to (apparently) run the fastest. Is this because the 29c has a smaller ROM menu, and fewer program lines to search, or does it indeed run faster? Comments please. Thanks, Hal
