The HP49G is the best calculator on the market, but it suffers from using a 1980's processor. Because of this, it's hard to make fast programs and run a lot of calculations at once. There are a three things you can do, however, to help it get the speed boost it needs.

  1. Keep your home directory as empty as possible - This gives the system plenty of memory in order to make complex calculations in the least amount of time.
  2. Press ON + F3 before making heavy calculations - This completely clears the stack and refreshes the system memory so it doesn't need to do a lot of garbage collecting while making calculations.
  3. Make your programs as efficient as possible - Basically, if you can squeeze a 3+ operation down to 1 or 2 operations and achieve the same result, do it. This eases the load on the system.
