I meant performance in CPU cycles per math function. As Cyrille noted it is practically equal for all Saturn based models. For instance:

log(x) -> ? cycles
exp(x) -> ? cycles
tan(x) -> ? cycles
etc...

Of course, performance may depend of specific argument x for each function...

The official old HP-35 specification consisted as well "speed of operation" list for each group of math functions in ms, as shown here:

I'm not aware similar performance list exists for any Saturn based calculator.
