On the other hand the times for cubic fields are not changed by calling SetClassGroupBounds("PARI");
This tells me that Magma likely uses BachBound(K)/40 for quadratic fields too. There would be nothing wrong with this since Pari used to do this itself but it slowed Pari down for large discriminants. There are no known incorrect results with this setting. It may just happen to speed Magma up, unlike Pari. I shall now continue obtaining timings for higher degree fields where possible in Magma using the "PARI" setting.
