Hmm, my guess is that since Maxima by default maintains a list of
all previous inputs and outputs, it might take longer and longer to
append to that list ... Within Maxima, try nolabels:true; (constructs
and displays labels but doesn't construct the list).
Or: put print(elapsed_real_time()); in your script and load("myscript.mac");
(parses and evaluates all the stuff in the script but doesn't create
labels).
