It would probably have been better to start a new thread in sage-

The difference I see between the fast and slow cases is whether av is
a string or a symbolic object. What happens if you try:
%time
longfast=long.subs(locals())._fast_float_('av')
?
Also, to ensure that your use cases run as fast as possible, it would
be nice if you could add this example as a test case to
http://wiki.sagemath.org/fast_eval . Thanks!
