Not really. I've slightly modified the logic to jump quickly to the "right"
precision instead of doubling a few times before giving up. Is is better ?

It's now a bug that such large units enter the picture. The extension field
simply has large fundamental units (see T[2].fu, with T the rnfisnorminit)

Yes you could. But it should have been about \p2000 or higher to stand a
chance.

It's not slow, it takes a few seconds! The algorithm requires computing the
bnfinit() of the absolute extension, which may be very expensive.
