Thank you for a nice words, Maxima and help.

It's a complex problem. (:-)
First because period is any positive integer so there is no upper limit 
and only hardware/software limitations.
Thus this could be treated as an numerical benchmark.


I do not know which program is the best. 
I have checked some :
Maxima ( allroots, bfallroots, polyroots)
mpsolve
eigensolve
octave
Web Solver
Results are on my page : fraktal.republika.pl

Now I know that on my computer Maxima fails with polynomial 
for period 14 ( degree 8127 ) - computing this polynomial ( before 
computing its roots)

The comparison is hard because :
- some programs were done under different OS : win32 and Linux 64 bit
- last algorithm is optimised 
- (I hope that) new programs are better,
- I do not know above programs in the same level 
 so my scripts are not using all power of programs

I'm intresting in compiling Maxima from sources with maximum memory. 
(Now I have SBCL on 64 bit and my maxima is from packages by Istvan 
Blahota :

It would be great if some notes about it one could find in doc.
I have found sth like :
http://fraktal.republika.pl/doc/maxima%20error%20codes.txt

Maxima is great, Lisp also (:-)
