 Hi Paul,

 There is nothing I can do about this myself. I think you need to follow up
 on the thread I posted to sage-devel (see above). I asked about this and
 William responded with:


 ''A while ago I tried out the proposed  MPC package for Sage, and it was
 much slower than the multiprecision complex code that we already had
 in Sage.  I wonder if these performance issues have been addressed?

  -- William''


 I then responded with:

 ''It would appear the issue have been addressed. You would be in a better
 position
 that me to determine if those issues are fully resolved. The last two
 entries in
 the NEWS file are both related to performance.''

 There really is little more I can do about this. I don't have the
 knowledge to evaluate the performance. You really need to convince
 William.

 BTW, what are the prequesites for this package? An updated spkg/install
 and updated spkg/standard/deps would be needed. You could usefully add
 them to the ticket.


 BTW, the author field is not filled in.

 Dave
