[Axiom-developer] Speeding up compilation of EXPEXPAN.spad

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  I've looked at this a bit with si::*notify-gbc* set to t,
and am noticing an enormous amount of (apparently bignum) garbage
generation.  (si::set-gmp-allocate-relocatable t) helps, but I'm
wondering where this is coming from, and whether a well placed
compiler optimization might eliminate it.  Can someone point out the
time critical code snippet in lisp?

Take care,
