I am running maxima-5.12.0 based on 64 bit CLISP 2.41 on an
AMD Athlon 64 (3 GHz, 2 GB RAM). My OS is FreeBSD-7.0 .
Problem is: what and how could we test, and what should it be
compared to?
Also I have to admit I don't do any "serious" computations. I
merely use maxima to prepare my students homeworks and
examinations.
Though - tell me, if I can be of any help.
