Comment (by SimonKing):

 Here is how one can cythonise the default `_subcategory_hook_`. The time
 for testing subcategories drops clearly. Without patch:
 {{{
 sage: C = Algebras(ZZ)
 sage: R = Rings()
 sage: %timeit R.is_subcategory(C)
 625 loops, best of 3: 3.14 µs per loop
 sage: %timeit C.is_subcategory(R)
 625 loops, best of 3: 3.4 µs per loop
 }}}
 With patch:
 {{{
 sage: C = Algebras(ZZ)
 sage: R = Rings()
 sage: %timeit R.is_subcategory(C)
 625 loops, best of 3: 1.97 µs per loop
 sage: %timeit C.is_subcategory(R)
 625 loops, best of 3: 2.1 µs per loop
 }}}

 However, that doesn't much improve the performance of
 {{{
 sage: def test1(N,B,t):
 ....:     for i in range(t):
 ....:         m=matrix(QQ,N,N,srange(N*N)).echelon_form()
 ....:
 }}}
 which (together with the fact that _subcategory_hook_ does all the work in
 this example) shows that the problem is not in the subcategory test.
 Hence, my patch is off-topic.
