thank you Craig and William for your answers. Craig, I was using Sage 3.2,
(here on a different computer):

----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 3.2, Release Date: 2008-11-20                         |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information.        |
----------------------------------------------------------------------

sage: load exemple40.sage
sage: time A = C.hermite_form()
CPU times: user 12.43 s, sys: 0.07 s, total: 12.50 s
Wall time: 12.72 s

but there is no significant speedup in 3.2.3:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 3.2.3, Release Date: 2009-01-05                       |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information.        |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sage: load exemple40.sage
sage: time A = C.hermite_form()
CPU times: user 11.92 s, sys: 0.23 s, total: 12.15 s
Wall time: 12.59 s

On the same computer, Magma takes 1.93s.
