To make this effective, one needs to make it easier to have a trac account. The development model here is heavily centralized making it fairly hard to join in. On Aug 10, 9:25 am, Martin Albrecht <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there, > > there have been some complaints about the quality of SAG

You might look at how GAP does this. Its tst directory contains expected timings. One only compares relative times. GAP tests do not fail on a pentium 75mhz, since GAP users employ a wide range of hardware. Surely other software has similar features. On Aug 10, 3:07 pm, Martin Albrecht <[EMAI

For comparison, GAP stores all primes found during the current session in Primes2, and one of the factoring methods is to trial divide by elements of this list. Factoring rsa200=p*q takes less than a second total if one first factors 3*p. Since GAP is not a number theory package, Primes2 grows a

One trick to get a few local temporary variables in GAP is to use functions. For instance: sage: gap.new("CallFuncList(function() local F; F := FreeGroup(2); return F/[F.1*F.2*F.1^-1*F.2^-1]; end,[])") I believe David Joyner has already suggested a better method for this particular example, s
