Hi there,

the following code is really, really really (REALLY!) slow:

sage: IP = InfinitePolynomialRing(QQ)
sage: x = IP.gen()
sage: x10000 = x[10000]
sage: %time 1/2*x10000
CPU times: user 0.86 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.86 s
Wall time: 0.87 s
1/2*x10000

Alright, so that was slow. Let's try something new:

sage: x10001 = x[10001]
sage: %time 1/2*x10000
CPU times: user 49.56 s, sys: 0.03 s, total: 49.60 s
Wall time: 50.62 s
1/2*x10000

50 seconds! 

The second try is a bit faster (I assume some maps were already constructed):

sage: %time 1/2*x10000
CPU times: user 7.74 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 7.74 s
Wall time: 7.86 s
1/2*x10000

I lost track of coercion/categories, thus any pointers how to fix this would 
be greatly appreciated. Patches even more ;)

Cheers,
Martin

PS: This stuff slows down the linear programming stuff quite a bit.
