That sounds low.  Are you using 24 bit or 32 bit floating point?  Are you
using a compiler to generate the math code?

I have a 16F876 running at 20MHz doing two nested PID control loops in
floating point.  One iteration takes about 7mS worst case, and I know its
doing a lot more than just 7 floating point operations.
