I think most time is spend in the is_zero() method for a symbolic 
expression, and that the reassignments you refer to are largely irrelevant. 
The thing is that it can cost a lot of time to decide whether, for example

sin(x)cos(x) - sin(2x)/2

is equal to zero, because there is so many things to try (in this case 
goniometric identities).

I may be wrong, however.

If I am right, I actually think that cleanup shouldn't be called at that 
point, since these kind of simplifications will also be done for the 
comparisons later on.

Best, Timo
