you "%debug"  and see what the value of pari_pol is? I'd expect that nfinit 
determines the ring of integers, which means factoring the discriminant. 
[QQbar shouldn't need the ring of integers of element arithmetic, but this 
has been stumbled on before: QQbar often tries to find an "optimized" form 
of the number field, which for small examples is often quite doable and, if 
you end up doing a LOT of arithmetic in the same field, is often worth the 
investment. However, because of factoring of the discriminant, it's fully 
subexponential in complexity, whereas all the things QQbar needs to do are 
polynomial time. So we already know that QQbar will do things with the 
wrong theoretical asymptotic complexity. That can come back and bite you, 
when reality and asymptotics start behaving similarly (which happens 
eventually ... asymptotically speakinh)
