Hi, I'm sad that on a fast SSD repeatedly doing the following:
wstein@geom:/usr/local/sage/sage-5.2$ time echo "" | ./sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sage Version 5.2, Release Date: 2012-07-25 | | Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface. | | Type "help()" for help. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage: sage: Exiting Sage (CPU time 0m0.03s, Wall time 0m0.03s). real 0m1.902s user 0m1.428s sys 0m0.424s always outputs 1.9 seconds! That test was < 1 second on sage.math when I put in a doctest to make sure it didn't exceed that 1 second, when we were trying to improve the sage startup time. In the intervening year (?), the test is ignored or gone, and the startup time seems to have got a bit worse. Dang. On another faster machine, I'm getting: wstein@combinat:/usr/local/sage/sage-5.2$ time echo "" | ./sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sage Version 5.2, Release Date: 2012-07-25 | | Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface. | | Type "help()" for help. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage: sage: Exiting Sage (CPU time 0m0.04s, Wall time 0m0.05s). real 0m1.580s user 0m1.224s sys 0m0.356s Any ideas?
