Comment (by Bouillaguet):

 The threshold is very clearly at ``2^64``. This is with the patch:
 {{{
 sage: p = next_prime(2^64-60)
 sage: M = random_matrix( Integers(p), 75*5 )
 sage: M2 = matrix(ZZ, M)

 sage: time d = M.det()
 Time: CPU 3.49 s, Wall: 3.49 s      # PARI prime case is faster
 sage: time d = M2.det()
 Time: CPU 6.29 s, Wall: 5.09 s


 sage: p = next_prime(2^64)
 sage: M = random_matrix( Integers(p), 75*5 )
 sage: M2 = matrix(ZZ, M)

 sage: time d = M.det()
 Time: CPU 8.83 s, Wall: 8.83 s       # PARI prime case is slower
 sage: time d = M2.det()
 Time: CPU 6.77 s, Wall: 5.52 s
 }}}
