The test in devel/sage/sage/tests/startup.py has been bothering me for a while already. It's way too unreliable to be useful, it depends too much on the system load (both I/O and CPU).

I'm all for replacing the test by something more objective which doesn't depend on the phase of the moon, but let's first get rid of the current stupid test. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
