I was only to do a further improvement, if possible, but I can use tlimit with
no problem :-)
The fact your execution time is only 0.75 s is a good news. My machine is not
that fast, it is a notebook with an athlon-xp 2800+ and 512 mb RAM 5 years
old, and Maxima is compiled with CLISP (which seems to be slower than other
Lisp implementations).
Thank you for explaining me something about tlimit.
