Comment (by SimonKing):

 Replying to [comment:366 cremona]:
 > To me it looks as if most of the extra time is in the symbolic gcd
 calls.  But seriously,  why on earth does potting a simple trig function
 involve anything as sophisticated as creating homsets?

 And in particular: Why is `Set of Homomorphisms from Integer Ring to Real
 Interval Field with 64 bits of precision` created a couple of thousands of
 times, even with a ''strong'' cache?

 > And why also are any gcds being computed?  Is it that for each of the
 values twhich are being iterated over, which are rational multiples of pi,
 the evaluation of sin(7*t) and cos (30*t) is being much too clever when
 all that is needed is a low-precision numerical value?

 I don't know. But in any case, there is a regression in the time for
 creating a homset. I have opened #13922 for this problem.
