I don't know why this takes so long:
I have a field F (a snumber field of high degree, 288 in fact) and
want to create a 100x100 matrix over F from a list of 100 lists of 100
elements of F, while I will call "entries". If I do
M = Matrix(entries)
which certainly works fine with smaller examples, then I get tired of
waiting (after 10 or 15 minutes) and cannot even interrupt with
Ctrl-C. But if I do
M = copy(MatrixSpace(F,100).zero_matrix())
for i in range(100):
for j in range(100):
M[i,j] = entries[i,j]
it works in a few seconds. So what is going wrong with the first (simpler) way?
