Here's are some simple performance tests that might show some differences
for the new inf code:
showtime:true$
qq: ratsimp((x^50000-1)/(x-1))$
for i thru 1000 do qq:qq+1$
for i thru 1000 do qq:qq+%pi$
for i thru 1000 do qq:qq+x$
for i thru 1000 do qq:qq+x^50000$
Or maybe:
determinant(genmatrix(lambda([i,j],x^(i-j)),15,15))$
