Of course when it is a 3-dim surface that in this case is being 
computed, the ratio of the two intervals used won't be "6" since if you 
halve the interval the work required will be 2^3 times more.

So:

x^3 = 6   =>  x ~ 1.82

Wolfram's codes used intervals 1.82 times smaller than the other software.
