Thanks James for these numbers, but what do they mean?
Here are my naive conclusions (naive on purpose):
1) Maxima should run on CMUCL... it seems so fast!!!
The new results with GCL are fine, but you are still at
half the speed!!!
To someone who has never done symbolic programming,
this appears surprising. I work mostly on signal processing
applications... and if you can get something done twice as
fast, it is worth a major paper...!!!
Why are the numbers sooo different? And what can we tell
from this one benchmark?
2) Mathematica and Maple are soooo slow. The result is
not surprising as far as Maple goes because I know it is
really, really slow and programming Maple is typically a
waste of time... but I'm surprised Mathematica does so badly???
