I ran Daves 20S code on my 20S and came up with the same result but it took 13 minutes. Does execution time depend on battery value?

That's interesting. I've never heard of that happening, but it's certainly a possibility.

Other factors to consider: this was the only program I had in memory, and display settings were all at default, except for setting ALL mode (I had just put in new batteries after it had been dormant for some time).

As an addendum, I ran the 17BII solver equation on my 200LX (stock CPU speed), and got a result in about 3.25 minutes. I'll probably try it on my 19BII later just to be more thorough than necessary.
