This hits the nail on the head. Mike's right on -- essentially no work at all has gone into any profiling of the notebook. We simply don't know why or what about it is slow or doesn't work well under a heavy load. I could guess, since I'm intimately familiar with the code, but I would likely be wrong. In fact, at present, the *only* "tool" we have for observing this slowness is anecdotal situations that some of us have experienced when teaching -- that's it. Like Michael says, we need good tools for simulating a heavy load, etc. William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
