I do remember IRR calcs on an HP-12C taking a few seconds, or so. And that machine is not cheap either.
That being said, who's running IRR on a pocket calculator?

- jgalt212 6y agomust have been some pretty big integrals, these examples in exact form seem to be close to instant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoDkeg166xU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoDkeg166xU maybe not the TI-89 which ran 68K processor.
- saagarjha 6y agoThose are all fairly simple, I'm talking much bigger stuff. (I actually had a Titanium, but it also has a 68k.)
