This is pretty nice.

I used it for some basic mathematica-like stuff, and it seemed to work
fine.  I did try an integral though:

   Integrate[Sin[x]*Cos[x+1],x]

and I seem to be able to count to 10 before getting the answer, even
if I retry it several times in the session.  That
seems surprisingly slow, given:


Perhaps the server was under a lot of load at the time. I just tried the same and got an almost instant answer.

Timing[Integrate[Sin[x]*Cos[x+1],x]]

gave the time as 0.52 seconds.

That said, 0.52 seconds is almost 100x slower than Mathematica running on my 
Sun.

In[2]:= Timing[Integrate[Sin[x]*Cos[x+1],x]]

                   -Cos[1 + 2 x]   x Sin[1]
Out[2]= {0.004724, ------------- - --------}
                         4            2

The output from MathICS is also in a more complicated form (more terms) than the output from Mathematica.
