I did see that and it didn't help (and I just double checked). So I'm pretty stumped regarding this approach. (Windows 10 aside:) To add to my notes above, I mentioned that I also have a powerful new Dell Windows 10 laptop with a 10th gen Intel processor and Sage installed via Docker. I just built sage 9.3.beta4 on that machine entirely under WSL2 (+Ubuntu), i.e., "Windows Subsystem for Linux 2". The timings are much better than with Docker desktop: ``` sage: %time d = random_matrix(QQ,1000)**2 # 516ms on WSL2 CPU times: user 544 ms, sys: 40 ms, total: 584 ms sage: %time ModularSymbols(5077,sign=1).decomposition() # 11.3s on WSL2 CPU times: user 14.3 s, sys: 170 ms, total: 14.4 s sage: %time sum(range(10^8)) # 953ms on WSL2 CPU times: user 1.85 s, sys: 0 ns, total: 1.85 s ``` Morever, WSL2 is very "integrated with Windows", with full filesystem access, and super fast startup time. Also "./sage -notebook" just worked with zero issues. So WSL2 is really, really good. It's currently difficult to install on Windows 10, but I think it'll be much easier sometime in the next year. One nice thing is that it works fine on "Windows 10 home" -- you don't know pro anymore... -- William (http://wstein.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
