On V41 using the default settings: qf(0.01) = -2,326522873, in 1.5 seconds.
On a 41CL using TURBO=zero the same calculation takes 2.35 seconds.

and just 0.11002 seconds in TURBO50 ( I couldn't resist!)

cf. the paper by Mike Giles posted at:

Edited: I checked my files looking for the double-precision source code paper. It appears the link has been re-directed to another subject, so I cannot find it on-line. Unfortunately I didn't keep an electronic copy of the document so would need to go to the actual "paper vault" , I hope to find it or else would have to reverse-engineer my own MCODE Sad

Edited: I found the document - send me your email address if you're interested.
