That wasn't really my point though; I avoided entering the routine at the time because I had no intention of waiting three quarters of an hour to risk discovering I had make a mistake entering the code. It is more fun now than ever.

In the very long calculation if Pi to 306 digits detailed here, I found the original 15c took 43 hours while the 15cLE took 16.1 minutes. That's a 160x speedup.
