Comment(by jpflori):

 On my [wiki:QuadCore Core 2 Quad] running Debian, here are the timings for
 the new Maxima:

 {{{
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.02 s, sys: 0.01 s, total: 0.03 s
 Wall time: 1.49 s
 1/4*x^4
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.01 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.01 s
 Wall time: 0.06 s
 1/4*x^4
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.01 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.01 s
 Wall time: 0.06 s
 1/4*x^4

 }}}
 and with the old Maxima:

 {{{
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.01 s, sys: 0.02 s, total: 0.03 s
 Wall time: 1.42 s
 1/4*x^4
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.01 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.01 s
 Wall time: 0.04 s
 1/4*x^4
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.01 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.01 s
 Wall time: 0.04 s
 1/4*x^4

 }}}
 On the Power G5 with the new Maxima:

 {{{
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.04 s, sys: 0.06 s, total: 0.10 s
 Wall time: 4.04 s
 1/4*x^4
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.02 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.02 s
 Wall time: 0.03 s
 1/4*x^4
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.02 s, sys: 0.01 s, total: 0.03 s
 Wall time: 0.04 s
 1/4*x^4

 }}}
 and the old Maxima:

 {{{
 age: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.04 s, sys: 0.07 s, total: 0.10 s
 Wall time: 4.87 s
 1/4*x^4
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.02 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.02 s
 Wall time: 0.04 s
 1/4*x^4
 sage: time integrate(x^3,x)
 CPU times: user 0.02 s, sys: 0.01 s, total: 0.03 s
 Wall time: 0.04 s
 1/4*x^4

 }}}
 So it was actually faster with the new one.

 I managed to update Ecl and Maxima on top of sage 4.5.1 on a Sunblade 1500
 (SPARC with Solaris 10), but doctesting maxima.py timedout or died eating
 all the memory.
