Is Macsyma multi-threaded? Are there any plans to make Maxima multi-threaded? I have asked this second question before and got a negative response. Still, I think it is important, Maxima never uses more than 13% of my CPU capacity on my Intel I7 PC. The Intel I7 has seven cores (using hyper-threading, I think). Maxima could be as much as 3 ? 5 times faster if it used all of them (my estimate based on testing of multi-threaded programs I have written), depending on the application.
