Sorry to be so late (10 months late!) in responding to this; I'm getting back to Sage development and I'm reading through my sage-devel archives. Dirk, I don't know if you still care about this... I'm the original author of the code (and documentation) in question. I basically made up the behavio

I think that the SAGE _factor_cunningham stuff only gives big speedups for much smaller b in b^n+/-1 (the documentation says that this is b <=12), and that MAGMA ships with a really big table of factors etc to help it to factor Cunningham-type numbers.. This is helpful for a lot of the combinatoric

So in Bart de Smit's talk at Sage Days 23 he gave in an example the integer 103^100-1 which had to be factored in order to proceed. There is a very interesting difference between the performance of Sage 4.4 and Magma 2.15-4 here: sage: time factor(103^100-1) CPU times: user 270.59 s, sys: 0.64 s,
