 See [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/sage-
 support/jpRxVAQb1G8 this sage-support thread]. Essentially, there is a
 huge (1000x) slowdown in computing the determinant of certain dense
 matrices. The slowdown happened sometime in between sage-4.7.2 and
 sage-4.8.

 `det.sage` contains the following code:
 {{{#!python
 import time

 def test(K, SP):
   n=100
   f=taylor(prod((1-x**i) for i in range(1,n)),x,0,n)
   A=[f.coefficient(x,i) for i in range(n)]
   cf= [[A[i+j] for i in range(K)] for j in range(K)]
   m= matrix(ZZ, cf, sparse=SP)
   #
   t0=time.time()
   print "  K =", K, ", result =", m.det()
   t_det= time.time()-t0
   print " ",version()
   print "  sparse= ", SP
   print "  time  = ", t_det

 KK=30
 test(KK, True)
 print
 test(KK, False)
