Comment #11 on issue 1946 by asmeurer: Recursion error with SYMPY_GROUND_TYPES=sympy (caching problem)
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1946

Well, I think this is important, so I created a patch to fix it. Actually, with the way the code is, as long as the bug in comment 3 is fixed the one in comment 4 won't create any problems, because something like S(2**100) == 2**100 will just fall back to Rational.__eq__, which calls sympify.

However, fixing it to use isinstance(b, (int, long)) makes it faster, because it doesn't have to call sympify:

In [1]: a = S(2**100)

In [2]: b = 2**100

before:

In [9]: %timeit a == b
100000 loops, best of 3: 7.23 us per loop

after:

In [5]: %timeit a == b
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.09 us per loop

So see https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/70.
