Dear Adrain,
  The TI86 has more memory in a page switching configuration.  It has to

keep checking the "other 32K" at many steps in it's subroutines.  It is
sort of like a car pulling a small trailer; you can haul more but you
lose a little top speed.
  The only way you can get your TI-86 up to the speed of a TI-85 is to
send it to me and I will send you my TI-85 and ten dollars.

stay connected,
Elwood
