Even if it is a Python class defined in a Cython file? I thought that
problems will only start if things are cdef.

Actually improving the join algorithm speed-wise is my main goal for this
ticket. I am not sure if much progress can be achieved without Cython.
I'd say: I try to improve the speed as much as possible by as much Cython
as needed. In a second step, we can see if some of it can also be done in
Python, or if some parts can be moved to a Cython file separate from
`sage.categories.category`.
