Comment (by cremona):

 Here's what is taking the time when leave_pari=True:
 {{{
 sage: time p=pari.prime_list(10^6)
 CPU times: user 0.06 s, sys: 0.02 s, total: 0.08 s
 Wall time: 0.09 s
 sage: len(p)
 1000000
 sage: time c=p[0:]
 CPU times: user 45.05 s, sys: 0.54 s, total: 45.59 s
 Wall time: 46.20 s
 sage: time c=p
 CPU times: user 0.07 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.07 s
 Wall time: 0.07 s
 }}}
 If you were to change the line
 {{{
    if leave_pari:
         return v[m:]
 }}}
 to
 {{{
    if leave_pari:
         if m==0:
               return v
         return v[m:]
 }}}
 then it would have been faster.  But as William said, this option seems
 not to be worth keeping anyway.
