Comment:

 Replying to [comment:4 rbeezer]:
 >  * I can see the times given being meaningless to anybody a few years in
 the future.  8 seconds?  When and where?  (Especially if in 3 years
 Moore's Law has it running in 2 seconds on new hardware.)  Would it be
 easy to say "# longtime (8s on sage.math, 2011)"?  Could you do that to
 the patch with a bit of grep/sed magic?

 I could, yes.

 >  * {{{sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/sha_tate.py}}} had two changes I was
 unsure about.  First, a test related to #10096 is deleted.  Is there a
 reason?

 The same test appears twice in the same file, exactly the same.

 > Second, some tests ("supersingular cases") are claimed to be the
 "easiest" possible and a comment to that effect is being deleted.
 You mean this:
 {{{
 # note on the doctests (cw 2010)
 # these tests are among the easiest test possible,
 # so even if the rank 1 case in supersingular that
 # takes more than 20 sec, should not be excluded.
 }}}
 Well, that comment doesn't make any sense to me and it's also
 grammatically wrong.  If you think you understand what it means, feel free
 to rewrite it.

 > I'd even suggest with al the time savings, the rank 1 test could be sent
 to the "short time" category?  Not everybody runs long tests, so it'd be
 good to catch as much possible with the standard suite, and this sounds
 like a good candidate.
 Fine.
