Comment (by darij):

 BTW, the `change_ring` methods on all the matrix classes I've checked
 (dense integer matrices, dense rational matrices, dense generic matrices)
 start out (more or less -- sometimes, the ring is first checked for being
 a ring) by checking whether the ring to map into is already the base ring,
 and if so, do nothing or simply copy the matrix if it's mutable. So it
 shouldn't be a bad slowdown or something. And with my patch, it happens
 only if the user explicitly specifies the `base_ring` variable. So is this
 still an issue?
