If you are using version 3 of Mathematica it is likely that you would be
better served by GroebnerBasis instead of AlgebraicRules (which still
exists but is no longer supported). One then uses PolynomialReduce
instead of, say, ReplaceAll. You would not need to recompute the
Groebner basis each time you start a new session; you could do it once
and thereafter use Get to load the result from a file.
