Today I succeeded in running LC on Raspi 3 (using Ubuntu 15.10. MATE),
so I couldn't help to run these tests also on Raspi 2/3:

RaspberryPi 2 B (800 MHz x4) 
Version: replaceText - replace - min() - sort
6.5.1:  3.13 -  0.73 -  0.68 - 1.61 (average timing of 10 x mouseUp)
7.0.4: 15.53 - 34.38 - 11.23 - 7.41 (average timing of 10 x mouseUp)

RaspberryPi 3 B (1.2 GHz x4) 
6.5.1:  2.49 -  0.43 -  0.40 - 1.04 (average timing of 10 x mouseUp)
7.0.4: 10.29 - 19.54 -  6.64 - 4.76 (average timing of 10 x mouseUp)

Perhaps one can now understand, that I 'wasted' a full day to look for
a configuration that runs LC 6 on this great 40 Euro computer (RasPi 3).

Once again: For the minimum function min() is LC 6.5. on both RaspPis
at least twice faster than LC 7/8 on a Mac mini.
Very impressing ...
