I did a trial install of M030 on my Windows 7 laptop. Same slowdown.
Can you create test sheets and track down the problem and separate which operations or which built-in functions are responsible for this significant (in your first post you reported a slowdown for the factor 12!)?
For instance it took me quite some time untlil I realized why some routines dealing with big matrices perform awfully slow. The reason found was that the built-in function stack() and augment(9 are MUCH slower than user written workarounds using for-loops. But thats not a M020 or M030 problem. Its there since ... ever(?) - at least it was already a MC14 problem.
My point is, that as nobody else has reported about such a significant calculation slowdown with M020 or M030, chances are, that just one specific function your calculation is probably heavily using, was unintentionally "damaged" in the maintainance release M020.
