I think the call to 'kill' at the top of each (?) rtest file makes it
impossible to use timer / timer_info while running the testsuite. It
might be nice to change the kill function so that we can use timer /
timer_info along with the testsuite. Or is there a workaround?
Or maybe we need a good way for testing the speed of Maxima --- my
first attempt at a change to nummod to allow things like floor(log(8)
/ log(4)) --> 3 slowed the testsuite by about 4%. Yikes! I found a
better fix.
