Comment(by johanbosman):

 The problem is that Sage uses NTL for polynomials over finite fields, but
 not for elements of finite fields.  So simply using NTL's list method
 wouldn't work (unfortunately).  I'll try to see whether a direct list()
 method will improve speed further.  Though I suspect that 99% of the
 running time goes into
 {{{
 K(ZZ_pE_c_to_list(c_pE))
 }}}
 so that the gain will be negligible.
