It's all relative, of course, but a benchmark written in C running on the Voyage 200 finishes in about 2 seconds what an equivalent HP-Prime program does in 10.3 seconds or a DM42 running off USB power does in 32.47 seconds. The only machine that I clocked running faster was a TI-84 Plus CE running the same thing compiled with CEdev.

By comparison, the same TI-84+CE ran an equivalent program written in TI-Basic in 1844 seconds. That's an acceleration factor of over 1000x.
