Every time I hear of TeXmacs as a GUI for Maxima, I recalll how SLOW
TeXmacs is on my PII-233MHz :( Either emacs, or xmaxima, or Maple or
Mathematica are much much faster UIs than TeXmacs. Symmax2 is next slow
interface to TeXmacs. So, I'd appreciate either symmax-style compiled
GUI (under KDE maybe) or significant speedup of TeXmacs...

about them)
