Is the TI-86 slower even when its memory is near empty, or just when there are
a lot variables stored?

I recently used a TI-86 loaner from TI.  Results of interest:

Table feature and text drawing are good additions.

Programming is not 100% compatible with TI85.  One reason:  some order of
operations changes.

One big disappointment:  programs run about 30% slower on the 86, as compared
to the 85  (i.e., the 86 will be about 70% finished with its task in the time
the 85 finishes it).  Has anyone noticed this?
