Hi. You might look at SymPy's built in benchmarks (run ./bin/py.bench). As for factor, you might look at Mateusz's branch where he has the new Polys module (http://github.com/mattpap/sympy-polys/commits/polys). I ran the test in his branch and got:
In [1]: time factor(x**20 - pi**5*y**20) CPU times: user 0.23 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.24 s Wall time: 0.27 s Out[2]: ⎛ 4 4⎞ ⎛ 12 4 2 8 8 3 4 12 16 4 16⎞ -⎝- x + π⋅y ⎠⋅⎝π⋅x ⋅y + π ⋅x ⋅y + π ⋅x ⋅y + x + π ⋅y ⎠ So it is faster (considerably) than Sage, at least according that the wiki you linked to. This isn't in SymPy yet, but it hopefully will make it to the git trunk soon. Also, you might look into using a tool like py.bench instead of naive clock deltas. As for the best thing to use for a benchmark, I think it should be something that takes long enough to run that it has a low margin of error, but is able to finish in all systems that you try it in. Also, some tests will show you more of the speed differences of the algorithm implemented (like probably the factor example), while others will likely show you more the difference in what the engine is running on (like Python vs. a C implementation).
