Hello everybody, I just downloaded the demoversion of Mathematica 5 and tried to find the advertised speed improvements. I got a benchmark notebook from http://smc.vnet.net/timings40.html and run it on my old Mathematica 4.1 and the new Mathematica 5 on the same machine (1.8GHz, win2k, 768MB RAM). To my surprise Mathematica 5 was only 1.6% better than the 4.1 version !! Any comments ? Axel Kowald
