Thanks for clarification, everything is ok. And sorry if I made my email imprecise, what I wanted to say is that what are the chances that maxima could be made fast, so that people intuitively feel it's as fast as mathematica for the problems they solve (e.g. it's as fast for all important stuff). I noticed it for example greatly depends on the particular lisp compiler. E.g. if there are any major obstacles to why Maxima is slower for the important benchmarks (i.e. if it is just because of pexpect, or slow lisp compiler, or Maxima's code and if there are ways to improve it).
