I've tried windows maxima binaries in 4 different environments.
Two machines - Pentium III 733 and Athlon XP 1700+ with
Windows Me and Windows XP on both.
With Win XP on both machines xmaxima failed to start maxima
process.
Pentium III with Win Me seems to be OK. Xmaxima starts and
passes all tests. The only minor problem I've noticed - weird
"Evaluation time" with showtime:true but this is probably
gcl issue.
Athlon XP + Win Me is more or less OK. Xmaxima starts but
takes more than one minute to get connected to maxima.
It also pass all tests. The only problem is that some
tests (not all) are really slow. Total tests time is
more than 4 times bigger compared to Pentium III.
I guess that all these troubles are due to P III
optimization.
Best wishes,
Vadim
