Comment (by nbruin):

 I don't know how it is exactly in pari, but representing an ideal with
 generators is not always cheaply done. Some ideal operations more
 naturally produce a basis of the ideal as a ZZ-basis (or a pseudobasis for
 relative ideals). So I expect that internally, you should have the
 possiblity of either (or both) representations and lazily compute one
 representation from the other. In fact, internally it would probably be
 good to store them as power products too (being a far more compact
 representation when doing factor-basis based computations)
