For the upcoming Isabelle release there will be a repackaged version of
Poly/ML 5.3.0, see the current setup in
http://www4.in.tum.de/~wenzelm/test/polyml-5.3.0.tar.gz
The same is already installed at /home/polyml/polyml-5.3.0 locally.
There are two notable changes for improved performance:
* A SHA1 implementation as shared object (by Sascha Böhme). It is
available from ML via the SHA1.digest function. In the very worst
case the whole thing may halt and catch fire, please report any
problems you encounter on your system.
* Some tuning of the Poly/ML runtime to shorted the (busy) wait interval
for external processes from 100ms to 10ms. This improves reactivity
of the ML bash/bash_output functions, at the cost of burning a few
extra cycles.
