Comment(by kcrisman):

 Okay, after reverting to the previous ECL/Maxima on this machine, I get
 {{{
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.14 s, sys: 0.14 s, total: 0.29 s
 Wall time: 17.79 s
 1/4*x^4
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.07 s, sys: 0.01 s, total: 0.08 s
 Wall time: 0.20 s
 1/4*x^4
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.08 s, sys: 0.02 s, total: 0.10 s
 Wall time: 0.21 s
 1/4*x^4
 }}}
 So Maxima is taking four times as long to do things, and the startup time
 is woefully long.  Is anyone else noticing a slowdown on Maxima via Sage
 this way with the new spkg?  I'd especially appreciate hearing from PPC OR
 Tiger users.  As it stands, this package makes it so slow it makes Maxima
 (and integration etc.) almost useless on this machine.
