Please try
Timing[Do[
NIntegrate[Sin[x], {x, 0., 1.},
Method -> {Automatic, "SymbolicProcessing" -> 0}], {k, 10000}]]
On my MacBook Pro it takes less than a second using Mathematica
6.0.2 .
You are right that version 5.2 uses a Gauss-Kronrod rule. The points
setting though is Points->5, which means that the rule would have 5
Gauss points and 6 Kronrod points.
