The new parent under the old parent is a non-negligible performance regression due to def calls being made in the coercion system. This will be fixed when I finish inserting the new coercion model core (as it will be able to use cdef calls on Parent again). This looks like it should be pretty smooth--under a week if all goes well (in which case a merge for 3.1.1 would be a good idea) or more (in which case don't wait on it). So far this second step has gone surprisingly well, though I only worked on it a couple hours one night so I'm at most half way into it. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
