 In characteristic p, the formula for the Hecke operator Tp is much simpler
 (and faster to work through) than in the general case.  It's worth having
 this as a special case in the code.

 The attached simple patch does this.  Here are some timings on sage-4.6.1,
 with a speedup factor of 9:

 BEFORE:

 {{{
 sage: p = 199
 sage: fp = delta_qexp(prec=p^2+1, K=GF(p))
 sage: timeit("tfp = hecke_operator_on_qexp(fp, p, 12)")
 25 loops, best of 3: 22.7 ms per loop
 }}}

 AFTER:

 {{{
 sage: p = 199
 sage: fp = delta_qexp(prec=p^2+1, K=GF(p))
 sage: timeit("tfp = hecke_operator_on_qexp(fp, p, 12)")
 125 loops, best of 3: 2.51 ms per loop
 }}}
