I just noticed there was some information missing. The times are for
_running_ the test suite of Maxima (http://maxima.sourceforge.net/),
as of the patches-for-ecl-branch plus the fixes I submitted to this
mailing list earlier. In the case of ECL the procedure involves the
following lines

1) Configure maxima:
cd maxima
./ecl -eval (load "configure") -eval (configure) -eval (quit)

2) Change to the source directory maxima/src
./ecl
(require 'asdf)
(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'maxima)
(user::run)
run_testsuite();

In the case of SBCL and CLISP you can replace the ASDF related lines
by (load "maxima-build") followed by (maxima-compile)

Probably it would have been more fair to split the compilation and
test phases, but it was just a quick check, and I am pretty happy
about it :-)
