If that is not what is happening, it still gets very slow.
I am using wxmaxima 0.8.
In fact after looking at some of the longer help texts, the wxmaxima is
almost impossible to use, and (I think), crashes.
It seems that it is recomputing something at a cost that is more than
linear in the length of the notebook.
