Why does Maple take (much) more time on calculating than Mathematica? For example, some time ago, I calculate this integration: int((sin(x)/x)^100,x=-infinity..infinity); although Maple is able to give the correct answer, but it takes about 5 minutes to achieve this answer. However, when I did the same thing in Mathematica, the time spent on calculating is less than one minute. Why is there such a notable distinction between the two computer algebra systems? PS: Versions of the two softwares that I use are Maple 11 and Mathematica 6.
