Hello Mathematica Community
I've made a strange observation when using Mathematica 7 and
Mathematica 5.1. I thought that Mathematica 7 is more performant than
Mathematica 5.1 but when trying to solve the same system of equations
and  inequalities by the function Reduce[] , Mathematica 7 has spent
4794.03 seconds whereas Mathematica 5.1 has spent 2.437 seconds.
how to explain that?
is the function Timing the same one for the two Mathematica versions?

Many thanks
