Then it means that these benchmarks are not representative or (gcl is not
for my PC configuration).
On my PC Athlon XP1800+ (256 RAM) I observe the following facts.
1) Running the heavy tasks under maxima-gcl freezes PC. It's just not
possible to do something else.
2) I have a number of cases when maxima-gcl was not able to finish the job
because it eat the wjole memory and X-server was restarted.
All these can be avoided with maxima-sbcl.
