Comment(by was):

 This example illustrates the effect of this patch:
 {{{
 sage: time GF(next_prime(10^40)^5,'a')
 CPU times: user 0.51 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.52 s
 Wall time: 0.52 s
 Finite Field in a of size 10000000000000000000000000000000000000121^5
 sage: proof.arithmetic(False)
 sage: time GF(next_prime(10^40)^5,'a')
 CPU times: user 0.07 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.07 s
 Wall time: 0.07 s
 Finite Field in a of size 10000000000000000000000000000000000000121^5
 }}}

 Unfortunately, it does *not* address this problem that David Harvey
 mentioned.  However, it has a similar "flavor":

 {{{
 sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(Integers(16219299585*2^16612 - 1))
 }}}
 David Harvey: "Maybe not literally forever, but I got sick of waiting.
 Should be instantaneous."
