Processor Speeds
newRPL runs at distinctly different speeds than the stock ROM from HP. The following table summarizes these differences.
| Event | HP ROM | newRPL ROM |
|---|---|---|
| Idle (waiting for key press) | 12 MHz | CPU stopped |
| Program executing (<500 ms) | 75 MHz | 6 MHz |
| Program executing (>500 ms) | 75 MHz | 192 MHz |
During the high-speed (192 MHz) mode of newRPL, hour-glass icon appears in the upper right of the display. The delay before the onset of the high-speed mode can be shortened to 30 ms setting flag -88.
