HP-12C Platinum Version 02 calculator from 2010 week 21?

Thank you Dave and Bob for taking the time to run the test and report results; these all seem consistent by model, but the difference between current 12C's and 15CLE (30% slower) is definitely interesting. I'd speculate (sounds better than guess...) that this is due to the more complex programming model in the 15C design, maybe calculating the offset to jump back each time, while the 12C just jumps to a known offset, or something along those lines.

Would you have guessed the 12C outperforms a 15C?

[Dave - is the 12CPS 1 or 2 2032?]
