Hola,
now it takes again only a few minutes.
The reason is that similar optimizations as I show in the attached
notebook were automatically done in the older FeynCalc;
however, some optimizations caused wrong results and therefore they were
abandoned.
Anyway: it is always a good idea to think a bit about the algorithms and
to fiddle with some useful functions like Isolate and Collect and alike.
Saludos,

Rolf Mertig
