You might look at how GAP does this. Its tst directory contains expected timings. One only compares relative times. GAP tests do not fail on a pentium 75mhz, since GAP users employ a wide range of hardware. Surely other software has similar features. On Aug 10, 3:07 pm, Martin Albrecht

Pari uses the Baillie-Pomerance-Selfridge-Wagstaff primality test, which at its heart is the observation that very few numbers are both (Fermat) strong pseudoprimes base 2 and Lucas pseudoprimes for x^2+P*x +1 where P is the smallest positive integer such that P^2 - 4 is not a quadratic residue

One trick to get a few local temporary variables in GAP is to use functions. For instance: sage: gap.new(CallFuncList(function() local F; F := FreeGroup(2); return F/[F.1*F.2*F.1^-1*F.2^-1]; end,[])) fp group of size infinity on the generators [ f1, f2 ] I believe David Joyner has already
