Comment(by malb):

 I think your timings are off since you time the {{{random_element()}}}
 call.

 == BEFORE ==

 {{{
 sage: P.<x> = GF(2)[]
 sage: f = P.random_element(1000)
 sage: %timeit f.is_irreducible()
 10 loops, best of 3: 948 ms per loop

 sage: f = P.random_element(10000)
 sage: %time f.is_irreducible()
 # gave up because it took minutes!
 }}}

 == AFTER ==

 {{{
 sage: P.<x> = GF(2)[]

 sage: f = P.random_element(1000)
 sage: %timeit f.is_irreducible()
 10000 loops, best of 3: 22.7 µs per loop

 sage: f = P.random_element(10000)
 sage: %timeit f.is_irreducible()
 1000 loops, best of 3: 394 µs per loop

 sage: f = P.random_element(100000)
 sage: %timeit f.is_irreducible()
 100 loops, best of 3: 10.4 ms per loop
 }}}

 So we have 948*ms* vs. 22.3*micros* => {{{948*1000/22.3 =
 42511.2107623318}}}
