New description:

 {{{
 sage: G = Graph(multiedges=True)
 sage: G.add_edge(0,1)
 sage: G.add_edge(0,1)
 sage: G.add_edge(0,1)
 sage: G.genus()
 1
 sage: G.to_simple().genus()
 0
 }}}

 Adding parallel edges to a graph never changes the minimal genus.  I'm
 concerned that genus() might be entirely broken... but maybe it's just on
 multigraphs?  At the very least, removing parallel edges will speed things
 up and fix this bug.

 Strangely, the code works correctly on the graph with 2 parallel edges,
 but the bug occurs on the graph with 3 parallel edges.
