I've been looking into this, i.e. I've installed Maxima 5.43.2, and 5.44.0, then run all the unit tests. There is a subtle change in the behaviour which was causing a significant loss of performance. This is not something you'd notice running Maxima on the desktop, but it was killing the interconnection with STACK. This has taken me a lot longer to sort out than I expected, so thank you for the advanced warning there might be a problem. Much appreciated!
I normally try to be proactive in keeping up with Maxima versions but the last couple of months have been rather busy getting questions working and helping colleagues. I'm fairly sure I've solved the problem, and maxima up to 5.44.0 will be supported in the next release. I'm trying to get this done in time to upgrade our own severs for semester 2, i.e. Jan 2021.
