对我而言，此比较的运行时间：1`g < 2`g在Maxima 5.42.0（以及5.42.2、5.43.0和5.43.2）中似乎比5.41.0慢很多。 （请注意，第一次运行总是较慢。）
5.41.0和5.42.0之间是否有可能导致此速度下降的变化？还是我做错了？

似乎与Lisp版本无关。

我自己在Docker中编译了Maxima和Lisp版本，因此我可以使用以下命令在AWS Lambda上运行它：
wget --quiet --output-document sbcl-1.5.7-source.tar.bz2 https://sourceforge.net/projects/sbcl/files/sbcl/1.5.7/sbcl-1.5.7-source.tar.bz2/download \
&& tar --bzip2 -xf sbcl-1.5.7-source.tar.bz2 \
&& cd sbcl-1.5.7 \
&& sh make.sh "clisp" \
&& sh install.sh
wget --quiet --output-document maxima-5.42.0.tar.gz https://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/Maxima-source/5.42.0-source/maxima-5.42.0.tar.gz/download \
&& tar -xzvf maxima-5.42.0.tar.gz \
&& cd maxima-5.42.0 \
&& ./configure --enable-sbcl-exec \
&& make \
&& make install
我们尝试自己调查问题。不幸的是，我们对Lisp的经验不足，无法找到解决方案。
[我们确实发现，当我们使用GCL使用Maxima 5.43.0的预编译版本时，性能很好。该版本可以在这里找到：https://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/Maxima-Linux/5.43.0-Linux/

这也在docker容器中运行。使用以下命令安装了Maxima：
wget --quiet https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/maxima/Maxima-Linux/5.43.0-Linux/maxima-5.43.0-1.x86_64.rpm \
&& wget --quiet https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/maxima/Maxima-Linux/5.43.0-Linux/maxima-exec-gcl-5.43.0-1.x86_64.rpm \
&& rpm --install --verbose --hash maxima-5.43.0-1.x86_64.rpm maxima-exec-gcl-5.43.0-1.x86_64.rpm
跟踪其中涉及的一些功能，似乎1 ` g < 2 ` g中花费了最大的时间来处理dimensions，这是一个计算单位的尺寸（质量，时间，长度等）的函数，在dimensions中，大部分时间都花在名为rff的表达式匹配规则中，该规则看起来像这样：
(%i22) disprule(rff);
(%t22) rff : dimensions(ff%) -> block([ff%2 :
ev(ff%, args(known_unit_conversions), infeval)],
if ff%2 # ff% then dimensions(ff%2) else dimensions(ff%))
此处ff%是诸如g的符号。 rff的作用是将g转换为kg/1000，然后对kg（和1000）执行一些其他规则，以发现尺寸为mass。
ev(ff%, args(known_unit_conversions), infeval)是查找基本单位的一种简单方法，但正如您所指出的，它相对较慢，因为当真正只需要一个单位转换时，它会将整个单位转换列表带入画面。我同意，更有效的方法是可取的，因为它可能会总体上加快单元的操作速度。随时提交有关此问题的错误报告（https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs/）。
我没有查看提交历史记录，所以我不知道版本之间有什么变化。无论如何，似乎当前版本的瓶颈在哪里。
