Comment:

 We have a big regression.

 I considered the doctests of sage/modules/free_module.py and took each
 timing twice, in order to be on the safe side.

 Vanilla 5.0.prealpha0
 {{{
 sage -t  "devel/sage-main/sage/modules/free_module.py"
          [11.9 s]
 sage -t  "devel/sage-main/sage/modules/free_module.py"
          [10.3 s]
 }}}

 With the first patch from here:
 {{{
 sage -t  "devel/sage-main/sage/modules/free_module.py"
          [24.1 s]
 sage -t  "devel/sage-main/sage/modules/free_module.py"
          [25.7 s]
 }}}

 With both patches from here:
 {{{
 sage -t  "devel/sage-main/sage/modules/free_module.py"
          [26.0 s]
 sage -t  "devel/sage-main/sage/modules/free_module.py"
          [25.8 s]
 }}}

 I think such a huge regression can't be accepted. Thus, it is "needs
 work".
