Technical Information

I have carefully measured the speed of the Schedule and Search routines on my LCIII 4/80, and provided the data below. I am aware of no competitor that even offers these features:


Search speeds (5.03c):

Normal Speed

Days searched per minute: Between 220 and 640, or between 600 and 2070 (Unstoppable mode)
10 years searched  in: Between 5mins 40s and 16mins 30s, or between 1min 45s and 6mins (Unstoppable mode)

Extra Speed

Days searched per minute: Between 500 and 1200, or between 2200 and 6100 (Unstoppable mode)
10 years searched  in: Between 3mins and 7mins 20s, or between 36 seconds and 1 min 40s (Unstoppable mode)

Conclusions

Extra speed is, in general, twice as fast as Normal speed. Unstoppable Mode usually increases speed by 300-500%!



Schedule speed (5.01c):
