Quote: just did the test (167699497) on a HP-200LX running GW-Basic and Basica. Both took about 9.3-9.5 seconds. So UBASIC is quite a bit faster.

I've never heard of UBASIC. With this speed difference. I need to check it out.

Okay, I repeated the test on a pocket computer - Sharp PC-1600. I had to slightly modify the program - Sharp's basic didn't like multiple statements after the IF/THEN in line 190. Plus used the TIME function to calculate the elapsed time.

For 167699497, it took about 100 seconds.

I was going to try the PC-1262, but can't find my unit. Probably in the bottom of a very messy drawer.
