Hi Thierry,

could it be that you misunderstood the purpose of SAGE_PROFILE? It is not 
about "citing" upstream in the sense of "giving proper credit to when 
writing a paper". According to the installation manual: "SAGE_PROFILE - 
controls profiling support. If this is set to yes, profiling support is 
enabled where possible."

In other words, it is about "profiling" upstream, in the sense of "certain 
profilers will be able to tell exactly in which lines of upstream code 
computation time is spent."

If I understand correctly, enabling this by default would slow all 
computations down.

Best regards,
Simon
