Muller's method converges almost quadratically near roots, but it can be very slow in regions far away from zeros. Test runs show that for reasonably good initial values, for a default absolute accuracy of 1E-6, it generally takes 5 to 10 iterations for the solver to converge.
Tests for the exponential function illustrate the situations where Muller solver performs poorly.
