On my XP machine and using a command line, Maxima 5.20.0 + openmcl
(aka Clozure) runs the testsuite in 508 seconds (no unexpected
errors); GCL runs the testsuite in about 344 seconds (also command
line).
Running wxMaxima + openmcl, I sometimes get messages boxes that say
"Windows-No Disk." Plotting (both wxplot2d and plot2d) seem to work;
the help system works; and compiling Maxima functions seems to work
too.
Thanks for trying this experiment.
