It has slowed down with the new firmware, which lowered the code optimization to prevent the calculator from hanging during intensive calculations.

1000 loops powered by batteries —> 9.83 sec, Result = 1,395.34628774

10,000 loops powered by USB —> 30.48 sec, Result = 13,955.8579043

I'm on a slightly later firmware version than you but nothing has been done to provide any acceleration in my internal test version. I get:

1000 loops on battery --> 6.45s

10000 loops on USB --> 26.57s

This is with RefLCD set to 6.
