Surprisingly a non-homogeneous polynomial of the same degree works OK (69) -> factor((h3+1)*(h3+1))
(69) [1 - z y x + z x y + y z x - y x z - x z y + x y z, 1 - z y x + z x y + y z x - y x z - x z y + x y z] Type: List(XDistributedPolynomial(OrderedVariableList([x,y,z,w,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5]),Integer)) Time: 0.00 (IN) + 15.93 (EV) + 0.03 (OT) = 15.96 sec but as Waldek noted 'factor(h3*h3)' does not complete in reasonable time.
