It seemed that quite a few times or more often than not on my i7 class
quadcore laptop I always caught Maxima still hanging around the process
long after I thought I have exited my worksheet. I wonder for non-multicore
monolithic cpus this happens?
Also after quite a few times too when Maxima cannot find the socket and
restarting creates another instance equal to the number of times one
actually made the reset? Each instant is like 13% of CPU and 4 or 5 of them
means close to 50% CPU utilization that could mean venting a lot of heat
close to 90deg.C on my core monitor. There maybe housekeeping issues at the
code level that should be fix somehow.
