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.

I changed RefLCD from 7 to 6, and it did have a significant effect on the run times as follows:

1000 loops on battery changed from 9.83 sec to 7.08 sec

10000 loops on USB changed from 30.48 sec to 28.03 sec

They are still not as good as your times, which no doubt is due to your code being more efficient.
