Revision history [back]

I recently installed Sage 6.7 from source on my home computer, running OSX 10.9 (Mavericks). It is sloooooow. Just starting Sage from a terminal window takes a good two minutes; something simple like using the ? feature can take up to a minute; and serious power computation is hopeless. My computer has plenty of RAM and disk space, so I don't think that's the problem. I had the same problems with the previous version (5.something), but on other computers the performance is much better. I would be very grateful for suggestions about how to speed things up, particularly from others who have encountered this issue. Thanks!
