Comment(by malb):

 One more data point.

 Again, this is with #9562:

 {{{
 #!python
 sage: MS = MatrixSpace(GF(64,'a'),5000,5000)
 sage: %time A = MS.random_element()
 CPU times: user 0.46 s, sys: 0.01 s, total: 0.46 s
 Wall time: 0.47 s
 sage: B = MS.random_element()
 sage: %time C = A*B
 CPU times: user 22.69 s, sys: 0.06 s, total: 22.75 s
 Wall time: 22.84 s
 }}}

 Note that we only implemented Travolta for GF(2^6^) so far. With Karatsuba
 we expect to get close to 4.5 seconds, because:

 {{{
 #!python
 sage: A = random_matrix(GF(2),5000,5000)
 sage: B = random_matrix(GF(2),5000,5000)
 sage: %timeit C=A*B
 5 loops, best of 3: 249 ms per loop
 }}}

 and the best known formula for degree 5 polynomials needs 17 such
 multiplications:
