Comment (by SimonKing):

 Without the !CallObject, we get
 {{{
 sage: from sage.misc.lazy_string import lazy_string
 sage: f = lambda x: "laziness" + repr(x)
 sage: s = lazy_string(f, 5)
 sage: %timeit str(s)
 The slowest run took 13.06 times longer than the fastest. This could mean
 that an intermediate result is being cached
 1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.53 µs per loop
 sage: s = lazy_string("This is %s", ZZ)
 sage: %timeit str(s)
 The slowest run took 8.76 times longer than the fastest. This could mean
 that an intermediate result is being cached
 100000 loops, best of 3: 2.29 µs per loop
 }}}

 With the !CallObject, we get
 {{{
 sage: from sage.misc.lazy_string import lazy_string
 sage: f = lambda x: "laziness" + repr(x)
 sage: s = lazy_string(f, 5)
 sage: %timeit str(s)
 The slowest run took 15.19 times longer than the fastest. This could mean
 that an intermediate result is being cached
 1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.59 µs per loop
 sage: s = lazy_string("This is %s", ZZ)
 sage: %timeit str(s)
 The slowest run took 10.33 times longer than the fastest. This could mean
 that an intermediate result is being cached
 100000 loops, best of 3: 2.42 µs per loop
 }}}

 So, in contrast to what is claimed in comment:21, I don't see an
 improvement. Should we revert it? Or can you provide an example where the
 change really matters?
