Re: [Maxima-discuss] imaxima LaTeX errors

[Alasdair M. <am...@gm...>]

I don't know whether it's my system, or something more generic, but the
delay between entering a command in imaxima and having the solution
produced is about 7 or 8 seconds.  And we're talking about things like
"2+2".   This is frustratingly - all but unusably - slow.

Back to the console, or maybe wxmaxima...
