D.Kouznetsov. Maple and tea. - Would the car industry advance as fast as computers, the car would cost one dollar and would run a million km with one gallon of gasoline. - Would the transport advance so fast as your company, we would have to buy a new car each time when one builds a new road or even draws a new line at the pavement. Here is the company C of computers; they master: Per each two years, their PCs run twice faster. Here is company S of the soft; they work hard as plowers, So, each new release runs 0.7 times slower; The soft is to run at the user's PC, Which is made, of course, by the company C. Here is user U, buys from C and from S, the newest model and the latest release. U presses some key, say, key number K; The soft S responds, with some delay, during some time, say, during time t, to let user U to have some tea. How many releases per year does sell S to U to let him have tea, while he has nothing to do, just waiting response by the soft to key K, keeping the same time t of delay, neutralizing the efforts of company C to run faster U's task at his modern PC? This problem above is not correct, because The tea-concern, together with C, of course, support the efforts of the company S to make even bigger the newest release, To force U buy more tea and a newest PC, to boost business of C and the concern of tea. --------------------------------------------------------- The poem was written comparing the performance of MAPLE-10 with previous versions.
