Comment(by jason):

 I might add that mathematica is fast (almost instantaneous) because they
 just punt to saying "roots of this huge symbolic characteristic
 polynomial".

 It's too bad that we don't have a generic RootOf construct (I don't
 believe maxima has one either).  The closest we get is QQbar, but that
 only works for rational polynomials.
