Comment(by SimonKing):

 I wonder whether the problem has already been solved. I just tested the
 example from the ticket description, and get (at least with #11900, #11521
 and #11115):
 {{{
 sage: K = GF(1<<55,'t')
 sage: a = K.random_element()
 sage: m0 = get_memory_usage()
 sage: for i in range(1000):
 ....:     E = EllipticCurve(j=a); P = E.random_point(); PP = 2*P
 ....:
 sage: get_memory_usage() - m0
 15.22265625
 }}}

 I think that this is not particularly scary. I'll repeat the test with
 vanilla sage-4.8.alpha3, but this will take a while to rebuild.
