Dear all, just a quick question/remark, today I was working (plotting etc.) with some quantities that involve (upper) incomplete gamma functions. Some operations took very long, as it turned out due to the incomplete gamma function evaluating very slowly for small arguments. Some testing showed that mpmath's version is a lot quicker (I've seen differences like 2~3 secs versus ~0.1 secs). Unfortunately I don't have SAGE on this computer so I can't post any code or exact numbers. Due to my setup (actually requiring SAGE function objects) I had to fiddle around and make several changes at several places to be able to use mpmath's version. I was wondering whether it might be possible & would be an attractive feature to modify SAGE's version in such a way that mpmath's version gets called when the function is called with a numerical argument?
