Not that I know.

As wrote, though. SysRPL, hpgcc, ASM on the 50g. ASM on several platforms. Lua on the nspire are possible ways to optimize the speed of the execution of this particular test but they cannot be really used during common usage of the calculator. The best reference for me is something that can be quickly assembled on the calculator itself.
Of course I would be interested as well by those optimizations. I strongly believe that lua on the nspire would close in to the prime and give the dust to numworks.

Further note. SysRPL may end up using already optimized functions so may not be that faster than userRPL. Maybe only the loop may be faster. Or could be that the absence of error checks may speed up everything greatly. I don't really know (therefore I ask the sysRPL experts to give it a shoot. Maybe DavidM, gerald H, 3298, Joe Horn and others).
