The algorithm QUICK FACTOR in the von zur Gather - Kaltofen paper
looks very easy to implement and only returns failure if you use a
probabilistic univariate factoring algorithm.

You could implement that in Sage probably with a very small amount of
work.

I don't suggest you'll get it down to 0.1s (after all, I don't think
there is even fast univariate factoring over GF2 in Sage), but surely
it will be better than forever (my guess would be less than a minute).

There's much faster univariate factoring coming up in the next version
of FLINT. But it won't be released for a while yet.
