I don't understand what you mean. The real and complex fields are loaded
upon start up. It seems as though time testing that if the user wishes to
compute gamma(x) for real x, he would achieve a faster result by changing x
into a complex number and then computing gamma(x).
Fields are, but how about pari? I think that
gamma(3.14159)
actually means something like
load_to_memory(mpfr)
mpfr.gamma(3.14159)
and
gamma(3.14159+2.71828*I)
means
load_to_memory(pari)
pari.gamma(3.14159+2.71828*I)
And if we have old server and 20 students using Sage, it may mean
something more than just waiting for few hunder milliseconds.
