  * status:  needs_review => needs_work


Comment:

 I wouldn't say that it's fixed.  Note the comparison is better but still
 they are not that close.
 {{{
 sage: dd = {(0,0):1}
 sage: %timeit matrix(8,dd).det()
 5 loops, best of 3: 2.83 ms per loop
 sage: %timeit matrix(8,dd,sparse = False).det()
 625 loops, best of 3: 147 µs per loop
 sage: %timeit matrix(100,dd).det()
 5 loops, best of 3: 228 ms per loop
 sage: %timeit matrix(100,dd,sparse = False).det()
 25 loops, best of 3: 15.2 ms per loop
 }}}
 It's just that everything is faster now.  How much faster would Moore's
 law say these should be after four years?
