Comparing the program lengths yielded something like a 4:7 ratio, i.e. the 224 steps of the 67/97 were comparable to almost 400 in the TIs. So this ratio is roughly the same as Jim's.

Guess what, I now found this book and so I compared the number of steps of the equivalent HP67/97 and TI58/59 programs. Here is the result:

Code:

Compared programs:      34
Max. # of HP steps:    224
Max. # of TI steps:    383
Min. ratio TI/HP:    1.476
Max. ratio TI/HP:    2.239
Average ratio:       1.733
Std.dev. of ratio:   0.189

So the result is similar to Jim's (average 1.727 resp. 1.731, standard deviation 0.162).
They almost agree if the two most extreme cases are neglected (average 1.725, standard deviation 0.166).
