Comment(by kcrisman):

 Replying to [comment:56 vbraun]:
 > The new maxima certainly comes with a bigger library; Its inevitable
 that it is somewhat slower in exchange for being better at integration. I
 don't know why startup is so slow on kcrisman's antique computer, but
 stracing the maxima startup shows that it thrashes around quite a lot in
 the `$SAGE_LOCAL/share/maxima/5.22.1/` directory tree.
 > I say we should press ahead and update maxima so that Sage compiles on
 Fedora 14. If the new maxima starts up slowly on your hardware then file a
 ticket and see if you can profile/fix it.
 Okay, but you'd still have to address the issue in Comment 52.  The best
 option there is finding similar doctests that don't have different orders,
 since #9880 isn't necessarily going to be merged in the immediate future
 (see above).
