  Amazing. Not _somewhat_ faster but Six times faster.
 And the graph sure looks like the electron clouds of some atom. I hope university students are aware of this free software.
 I have a feeling it was a matter of default interval. Wolfram, by default, may have used  6 times shorter intervals in computing the dots, giving 6 times more dots to find.
 You can test it and find if that's the case. Keep making the image larger and larger until the grid shows, then compare the size of the image between the two software when grids are more or less the same size on the screen.
   

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.
