Comment (by nbruin):

 OK, with this change made to your patch:
 {{{
 #!diff
 --- a/src/sage/rings/integer.pyx
 +++ b/src/sage/rings/integer.pyx
 @@ -693,11 +693,10 @@ cdef class
 Integer(sage.structure.element.EuclideanDomainE

              else:

 -                try:
 -                    set_from_Integer(self, x._integer_(the_integer_ring))
 +                otmp=getattr(x,"_integer_",None)
 +                if otmp is not None:
 +                    set_from_Integer(self, otmp(the_integer_ring))
                      return
 -                except AttributeError:
 -                    pass
 }}}
 I get hardly a difference in timing. Using
 {{{
 %cpaste
 cython("""
 from sage.rings.integer import Integer
 def test(a,n):
   cdef long N=n
   for i in range(N):
       v=Integer(a)
 """)
 --
 R = Integers(3^20)
 u=R(2)
 timeit("test(u,100000)")
 }}}
 I get 20.3 ms for `getattr` and 20.7ms for the `try/except` variant. So,
 really a minute difference, but still measurable.I'd go for the getattr
 option, mainly because of the error checking.
