For example, with 16 SETPREC, the functions would use common (and fast) algorithms, and with any other precision setting they would use the variable precision library. I think that 99% of calculations don't need variable precision, and this solution would make newRPL more comparable to the Prime, as far as speed is concerned.

Anyway, as François noted, the speed improvement is already very satisfying.

Yes, it's a good possibility that in the end, the default precision of 32 digits could use optimized code, then other precisions fall back to the general routine.
