I have just had my first scientific publication (Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics 2010 Vol24 No K2) and I thought I should include the acknowledgement here

 “The development of algorithms in Maple was assisted by the advice from the MaplePrimes forum including John Fredsted who provided an initial coding idea for automated detection of plane division”.

I have been using solve in Maple 9.5 to solve a system of equations with a very large solution (90,000 terms provided in about 10 mins). Access to Maple 9.5 was unvailable so I used Maple 9; I gave up waiting after several hours and seeing memory use go up to 1Gb. Is there a big difference in the coding to explain this. Also, I don't yet have Maple 10; does it have any further improvements?
