For the testsuite (using a Core 2 6400 (2.13 GHz) and 2 GB RAM), CCL is
about 30% slower
than GCL. Likely the testsuite is a poor speed benchmark.
I also ran the testsuite on an i3 380M + 4 GB RAM + 64 bit Windows. I
don't recall the
numbers, but the good news is that the 32 bit CCL Maxima does run under 64
bit Windows.
I think it's only recent that 32 bit CCL would run under 64 bit Windows.
----Using CCL-------------------------------
took 325,092 milliseconds (325.092 seconds) to run with 2 available CPU
cores.
During that period, 324,515 milliseconds (324.515 seconds) were spent in
user mode
4,078 milliseconds (4.078 seconds) were spent in
system mode
22,591 milliseconds (22.591 seconds) was spent in GC.
