Dear AES,

Below are the results for a four year old MacBook Pro,

In[1]:= Timing[Integrate[x^3/(Exp[x] - 1), {x, 0, Infinity}]]

Out[1]= {2.58159, \[Pi]^4/15}

I worked for Intel 25 years ago and I remember that on some chips we shipped there was a firmware function called "warm up"  that took a month or two in some extreme cases.

Be patient and all will be well.


Cheers .... Syd
