Hi, just FYI. Cleaning up various old notebook files, I came across the following Benchmark. It seems that overall version 4.6 is faster, but not for all tests.
3.4 4.6 Benchmark 0.4s 0.4s Factor the following polynomial over the rational numbers: (x^97+19*x+1)*(x^103-19*x^97+14)*(x^100-1) 0.5s 0.6s Find the Mordell-Weil group of the elliptic curve 5077A using mwrank 0.2s 0.1s Some basic arithmetic with very large Integer numbers: '3^1000001 * 19^100001 0.3s 0.1s Some basic arithmetic with very large Rational numbers: '(2/3)^100001 * (17/19)^100001 0.0s 0.0s Rational polynomial arithmetic using SAGE.
