 The following example comes from comment:27:ticket:16964 via
 comment:2:ticket:17886, with syntax for `z` discussed in ticket:17895.

 {{{
 sage: x,y = polygens(QQ,"x,y")
 sage: p1 = x^5 + 6*x^4 - 42*x^3 - 142*x^2 + 467*x + 422
 sage: p2 = p1(x=(x-1)^2)
 sage: p3 = p2(x=x*y).resultant(p2,x).univariate_polynomial()
 sage: p4, = [f[0] for f in p3.factor() if f[0].degree() == 80]
 sage: ival = CIF((0.77, 0.78), (-0.08, -0.07))
 sage: z, = [r for r in p4.roots(QQbar, False) if r in ival]
 sage: %time z.exactify()
 }}}

 This exactification didn't complete in 6 hours. OK, the polynomial in
 question has degree 80, so this is quite some work, but nevertheless
 Mathematica can find a minimal polynomial for just this number in 0.2
 seconds. There should be some way we can get at least into the less-
 than-a-minute range, although I don't know exactly how.

 Perhaps we can drop the polred calls in qqbar?
