Dear Ralf,<br>
<br>
Mathematica is a commercial package which Wolfram Research does not
give<br>
away.<br>
<br>
On my generic box, a 133MHz One-Main GigaByte mother board, an Athlon<br>
1200 MHz chip with 512 Meg of double speed ram, 10^6 took 0.871 seconds and<br>
10^7 took 3.014 seconds. Labos on a P3 800 MHz machine clocked in at 19.33<br>
seconds. This is why AMD is doing a lot better than Intel. Just for fun I
tried 10^8<br>
and I did it in 13.73 seconds. 10^9 took 72.464 seconds. I'm stopping here.<br>
<br>
Bob.<br>

In the danger of becoming off-topic, I forgot to ask (for the record): what
machine, please?
Would the compiler be something I would be ill advised to ask for?
I like the numbers a bit meaningful.
Thanks again,
ralf
