New description:

 The comparisons of elements of `AA` can be much faster! We got

 old timing
 {{{
 sage: a = AA(125/13)
 sage: b = AA(3/5)
 sage: timeit("a < b", repeat=10, number=50000)
 50000 loops, best of 10: 15.9 µs per loop
 sage: a = AA(2).sqrt()
 sage: timeit("a < b", repeat=10, number=50000)
 50000 loops, best of 10: 17.9 µs per loop
 }}}

 new timing
 {{{
 sage: a = AA(125/13)
 sage: b = AA(3/5)
 sage: timeit("a < b", repeat=10, number=50000)
 50000 loops, best of 10: 680 ns per loop
 sage: a = AA(2).sqrt()
 sage: timeit("a < b", repeat=10, number=50000)
 50000 loops, best of 10: 686 ns per loop
 }}}

 Also, instead of implementing `__cmp__` we implement `_cmp_` (that avoids
 one function call).
