Ray,

It is a 450 MHz P2. We recently had a report on the mailing list from
someone who is using a 200 MHz processor.

I guess you must mean replacing nregex by cl-ppcre.
Actually, I'm in favor of that. cl-ppcre is the standard de facto
for CL regex stuff. We can expose it to users so they can
use it for string processing (in addition to any internal uses).
Be that as it may, I still want to implement an indexing scheme
for Maxima describe.
