It might be due to TS8 using double precision math where TS2ki uses
single precision. It's also possible that TS8 has a different
history database design, which is more robust in some respects at
the cost of speed.

That may be the 16-bit vs 32-bit architecture. I remember writing
16-bit software; the Intel architecture at the machine level only
provided two user registers in the CPU, which drastically slow
things down over code that has access to all 16 full-word registers
(or however many there are these days).
