Comment:

 Your timings are kind of strange in comparison with what I get.

 I was going to post what follows which I double checked:

 I can finally confirm I do not get any serious speed regression with the
 last couple of patches.

 ptestlong gives something between 3100 and 3250 seconds with 5.0.prealpha0
 vanilla or 715 applied.

 Testing only sage.schemes with one core gives me between 1550 and 1600
 with both in the same way.

 And this time I confirm the test with random j-invariants is fixed by 715
 and is not without (I'm getting paranoid now) as well as with a fixed
 j-invariant.

 I'll review the code and example next.

 So when I saw your post, I ran "sage -t devel/sage/sage-
 main/modules/free_modules.py" with both my installations (vanilla and
 vanilla+715) and got several times about 13 sec for both ! maybe a mean
 little lower for vanilla (at max .5 sec less).

 I should mention I also get a quite big variance, not sure why, because my
 system is not heavily loaded, maybe cos the disk is on NFS.

 E.g. I got between 12.3 and 20.0 (just once) for vanilla and between
 12.7and 19. (at the same time, so maybe the network was loaded at that
 time ??)

 For info I got a quite recent multicore Xeon running an outdated version
 of Ubuntu 64 bits.
