Comment(by bgoodri):

 The original bench.sage was not very appropriate because sage was
 simplifying the rational expression to 1 before passing it to Maxima or
 GiNaC. So the difference in speed primarily reflected the difference
 between interacting via pexpect and interacting via a library. The revised
 bench.sage avoids this and there is about a 7x speedup. However, sage is
 repeatedly calling gcd() automatically, and the performance would probably
 jump if we could avoid that somehow.
