Hi. The software you mention may remain nameless, but it is pretty obvious what it is. There was a serious screw up when they tried to redo their whole interface in Java, as I was told by a representative. There are two main reasons I switched to sage, besides frustration with other software: 1)

One of the reasons I switched to Sage was that a handful of years ago the previous CAS I used (who shall remain nameless) introduced a worksheet interface that grossly slowed down the system. Rather than improve the efficiency, subsequent releases made things worse by adding an extremely slow synt

2009-01-10 Thread Simon King
Hi all! I just found that "sage" on sage.math yields sage 3.2.2, not 3.2.3. Is there a reason? Also I wonder why the process that I'm running only gets 2% of CPU. Not many processes are running at the moment. Is the I/O still a problem? Cheers Simon --~--~-~--~~~-
