 > > Interestingly, arithmetic with infinity also shows up quite high in
 the profiling reports (up to 10% of the time), so optimizing
 `src/sage/rings/infinity.py` will also give some speedup.

 > Aahahah. Yaeh, Vincent has been fighting a lot with some abstractions we
 have, which makes code run *much* slower. For `+oo` he advises to solve
 the problem by using float("inf") instead of Infinity.

 In general, I don't like the "X is slow, therefore let's not use X"
 mentality. My idea is: "let's use X and then optimize X".
