The equation has to be parsed each time it's executed. You can even enter an expression that leads to a SYNTAX ERROR like:

Code:

SQRT(

With the HP-48 this is not possible as the algebraic expression is parsed and stored in a compiled format. From this the algebraic expression is recreated for the display. That's why entering something like '(A+B)' with superfluous parentheses results just in 'A+B'.

But unless the same equation is evaluated again and again in a loop as in SOLVE or \(\int\) you probably never notice the difference.
