Yeah, thanks Florent! Feel free to double check the change to the
Iwahori-Hecke file.

Yeah ...

Yes. You need to install the runsnake program itself separately though
(see runsnake? for details).

Good to know.

Yeah; so far the gain was mostly about constant time factors.  More
experiments need to be run to make sure the complexity is reasonable.
Keep us updated!

That would work indeed. Using CyclotomicField is probably a bit faster
than a generic number field though:

        sage: xi=e**(2*pi*i/5);
        sage: QQ[xi]
        Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1
        sage: ZZ[xi]
        Order in Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x 
+ 1

But you are right, my construction should have read:

    sage: CyclotomicField(5, 'xi')['x'].fraction_field()
    Fraction Field of Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Cyclotomic Field of 
order 5 and degree 4

Cheers,
