I agree with Nathan's comments: if the find_stat decorators are adding significant overhead then they need to be looked at.
As Volker said, however, before we start this conversation we should profile them to find out what the cost is (unlike Floent I would not find a 10% slow-down acceptable:). On the question whether the find_stat people should be adding decorators for their own (nefarious?:) purposes, well, every bit of sage code that I have written has been for use in my own own independent research projects - or to make sage more the way I would like it. I think that this is not uncommon, so I don't see an issue here. The real question is whether the find_stat group are adding functionality which other sage uses find useful. I think that having "indepdent" applications of sage is also very advantageous to the sage project.
