Comment (by darij): Thanks! About {{{(-1)**a * x}}} vs. {{{x if a % 2 == 0 else -x}}}: I've changed it to the former (= more intuitive) syntax now in the Verschiebung method. I was getting a speedup from the latter syntax in a different method (omega or antipode, I don't remember), which made me adapt it as a general tactic. I guess Python is smarter than that, though. Either way the time difference is small and tends to hide behind noise (my firefox is running), and I'm not sure whether it is due to the exponentiation itself or to the fact that the former syntax coerces {{{(-1)**a}}} into the parent of {{{x}}} and then does multiplication within that parent, while the latter only ever uses negation in the parent of {{{x}}}.
