Comment:

 Hi Simon,

 I haven't been following all the details of this, but thanks for the
 patch!  One question I have is whether there is a performance penalty for
 this, and if so, to what degree is that acceptable. On my machine, I
 noticed about a 10% slow-down for
 {{{
     sage: R.<x> = QQ['x']
     sage: timeit('f = x^2 + 1')
 }}}
 after applying the patches at #9944 and here. I did not do any rigorous
 testing so this may be spurious, but I'm not sure this should be given a
 positive review unless this issue has at least been considered.

 If this has already happened and I missed the discussion, then I
 apologize. Just point me to it and I'll shut up and go away. :)
