how to allocate more memory?



Hi, 

This is a benchmark about the Cartan identity (the exterior and the Lie 
derivatives are commutative) for Maxima 5.9.3.1cvs.
rgds,

Time_ev means "Evaluation took ..."  Time_el - ellapsed ..
I have tried two possibility for GCL one is default (no tuning) another one is 
a tuned one which was done via maxima-init.lisp  options. I put this file in 
archive that can be found at the link:
http://www.iszf.irk.ru/~pip/maxima/bench-max.tar.bz2

There you can find the code and output from console as well.
Sign (!) means that the system was freezed during computations due to the 
heavy SWAP use. Sign -/- that system was freezed forever  the only 
possibility was the hardware restart. Hardware : CPU -Athlon XP1800+
RAM 256Mb


the forth order Cartan identity:
                SBCL 0.9.10    default GCL2.6.7  tuned GCL2.6.7 
Time_ev        2.04                 0.89                   1.09
