Here's a new 2007 paper I just found that has an algorithm for multivariate polynomial factorization that the authors claims blows away Maple in many cases: http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0701670v1 There are a lot of references in this paper. So this might be a good paper to study so Sage can do something that beats everybody. (I have no idea if the paper is good or crap though...)
