Thanks for your careful tests!

Note that when we fix a bug in 2.5.1, we generally add a new test, so it is
expected that the new testsuite takes more time. However, in this case the
difference is large and is indeed a regression.

The largest slowdown is in test-resultant. It was introduced by
the commit 5301c466d2 which fixes this bug:
    18- subst(Y/X,X,x) -> 0

We will try to address that in 2.5.2.

Cheers,
Bill.
