A user has been asking on sage-support about issues with cputime()...
it sounds like some kind of "wrap-around" resolution bug on his
platform. Every 35 minutes it wraps around to zero or something. He
describes his system as
> I have a Toshiba Laptop with Intel centrino processor, 1,73 Ghz and
> 1GB Ram and windows XP on it.
I don't know anything about windows, maybe someone else here has some
idea what's going on.
Here's what happens:
> Zeit=cputime()
> for i in range(100000):
> g=maxima('193^99484')
> Ergebnis=cputime(Zeit)
> print Ergebnis
>
