On a Mac,
--------
7.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (November 11, 2008)
c[4]=-(38475/16384)
time=6.2792
memory=140.069 MB
--------

Results depend on how busy your computer is.  The above results were
gotten on a fresh kernel running nothing else, but Mathematica.

Also, TimeUsed[] gives the total number of seconds of CPU time used so
far in the current Mathematica session.

So, results will vary if you run it twice or later on a non-fresh
kernel session.

Just some thoughts.
