 > Me too, but as I tried to explain the script I was running was computing
 the isogeny class many times.  I am rerunning just E.isogeny_class() under
 6.7 now and will report back (but this ticket need not wait).

 I agree that this ticket makes sense by itself. It's just that it only
 does some easy optimizations, it doesn't fundamentally improve the
 algorithm.

 I have been thinking a bit about the computation of `mult()` this
 afternoon and I might have an idea to compute `mult^-1(f)` (that is, find
 `g` such that `mult(g) == f`) much faster than the current `mult()`. Of
 course, theoretically, `mult()` and `mult^-1()` play the same role.

 I'm wondering if it's worth pursuing further and for that I need to know
 if `mult()` is ever the bottleneck of the algorithm. (this is of course
 for a hypothetical follow-up ticket)
