Hi mathgroup, dear Wolfram Researcher
A trivial Integral like Int(z^-(3/2) dz) takes almost a minute if the
function is within a product of some constant parameters, which could
be pulled out very easily automatically (for some reasons I want such
trivial integrals to be integrated automatically). Look at the
example below where I ask Mma to perform just the above Integral, which takes
51 Seconds, then I introduce a function FastInt that pulls out the
constants first and then starts integrating - this takes only 0.07 Seconds!!
Crazy - isn't it?
I think Mma should do such simple transformation on its own, or at least
supply a function like FastInt (perhaps a bit smarter than this) performing
these transformations.
I also found that the same behaviour slows down Solve substantially, when
there are too many Symbols (constants) involved.
