Thanks for confirmation. For the record, I'm absolutely not pushing any agenda here -- just curious. Macs and Mathematica do many things so blazingly fast it's near unbelievable. And this seems like a relatively simple, smooth integral using only simple, smooth, commonplace functions. So why does evaluating it take so long?
