#6808: Implement a benchmark based on Karl Unterkofler's Mathematica benchmark

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Karl Unterkofler has implemented various benchmarks for Mathematica. These
are for specific versions of MMA 2.2, 3, 4, 5 6 and 7.
http://www2.staff.fh-vorarlberg.ac.at/~ku/karl/timings70.html
Making one for Sage comparable to his latest Mathematica 7 benchmark would
be useful, as it would allow a direct comparison of Sage and Mathematica
on 15 specific tests.
We have Karl's permission to do this. In an email send to me today it
said:
'''-- Email from Karl Unterkofler to David Kirkby August 22nd 2009 ---'''
''Dear Dave,''
''the aim of my MMA benchmark is to give Mathematica users a decision
support which platform is most suitable for their needs, e.g., should one
use Vista or XP?, can one use Linux or Mac OS X?, which processor should
one use 32- or 64-bit?, etc.''
''Some time ago (1994) I also made a corresponding Maple benchmark
(google: "Comparison of Mathematica on Various Computers") but there
wasn't enough input from other users to keep this ongoing.''
''I had to update the benchmark for new versions of MMA for several
reasons, speed improvements, syntax changes, bugs, parallelization, etc.,
though I tried to keep as much as possible from the old code.''
''I have no problem if you adopt my benchmark for use with Sage.
However a reference to the original source would be nice.''
''Karl''
