Yes, I think it would be a good idea. I'd particularly like to see the benchmarks at http://www2.staff.fh-vorarlberg.ac.at/~ku/karl/mma.html integrated, as not only would it give a comparison of one version of Sage vs another, it would also give a comparison with Mathematica. Karl, the author of that benchmarks has given us permission to use it, though we should credit him of course. Karl might even link to the Sage web site where the results are, which would only be good for Sage. Note he has two benchmarks - one is a parallel one, the other serial. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
