I can't really say why the HP 50g takes awhile to get an approximate answer for the given integral. I do know that if you take it out of Standard format and put it into a smaller number format like Fix 4, it would get a numeric answer quicker with an accuracy up to the given number format. But you probably knew that already.

Weird right? The difference between Exact and Approx. speeds in this case is very interesting and I don't know why that is. I get the answer in 0.70 milliseconds if I want an exact result. And when I press ->NUM on the exact result, it solves the exact answer in .06 milliseconds. This means I can get the approximate result of the integral in .76 milliseconds, beating the Casio. But every attempt to solve the integral approximately, I get a 47 second wait. I'm sorry, I don't have a guess on why it does this.

The Prime is great isn't it? But the 50g getting the same answer in .70 milliseconds is also impressive to me.
