Comment (by SimonKing):

 Replying to [comment:282 nbruin]:
 > Oh sigh ... this could be such a red herring. On bsd.math, there is a
 huge difference between sage versions in how this piece of code behaves:
 > On `sage 5.4.beta0` (with patches):
 > {{{

 That's strange, but I can not confirm that timing. On bsd.math with
 patched 5.4.beta0:
 {{{
 sage: PF = WeylGroup(['A',3]).pieri_factors()
 sage: %time a = PF.an_element()
 CPU times: user 0.06 s, sys: 0.05 s, total: 0.11 s
 Wall time: 0.75 s
 }}}
 > We're wrapping an interface too! (that sort of explains the anomalous
 timing. Apparently the particular 5.4b0 build on bsd has a very bad gap?

 Works for me.
