Actually, the cutoff changed: sage: type(Matrix(GF(previous_prime(2^23)),10,10)) <type 'sage.matrix.matrix_modn_dense_double.Matrix_modn_dense_double'> sage: type(M) <type 'sage.matrix.matrix_modn_dense_double.Matrix_modn_dense_double'> sage: %time M.right_kernel() CPU times: user 0.23 s, sys: 0.02 s, total: 0.25 s Wall time: 0.26 s Vector space of degree 1001 and dimension 1 over Finite Field of size 8388593 Basis matrix: 1 x 1001 dense matrix over Finite Field of size 8388593 sage: type(Matrix(GF(previous_prime(2^24)),10,10)) <type 'sage.matrix.matrix_generic_dense.Matrix_generic_dense'> sage: M = MatrixSpace(GF(previous_prime(2^24)), 1000, 1001).random_element(); sage: %time M.right_kernel() ... wait a long long time This cutoff is not arbitrary btw. but such that the product of two elements fits into a double (53 bits).
