series taking too looooooong.

Hello,
I found out that if I make the series expansion of a multiplication that
has somewhere in it a factor to a rather large power (say 8), determining
the lowest order of that takes very long. For instance, determinging the
lowest order of
b0^(-10)*(-2*b0^(-7)*log(-b0^(-2)*b1*recs)*b1^3*recs^4-b0^(-5)*log(-b0^(-2)*b1*recs)^2*b1^2*recs^3+b0^(-5)*b1^2*recs^3+b0^(-7)*log(-b0^(-2)*b1*recs)^3*b1^3*recs^4+b0^(-3)*log(-b0^(-2)*b1*recs)*b1*recs^2+3*b0^(-6)*b2*log(-b0^(-2)*b1*recs)*b1*recs^4-1/2*b0^(-7)*b1^3*recs^4-b0^(-4)*b2*recs^3+1/2*b0^(-5)*recs^4*b3-b0^(-1)*recs-b0^(-5)*log(-b0^(-2)*b1*recs)*b1^2*recs^3+5/2*b0^(-7)*log(-b0^(-2)*b1*recs)^2*b1^3*recs^4)^8*b1^9
with respect to the variable recs takes a few seconds on my pentium 1.8
GHz.
The attached patch should make this much faster by determining the lowest
order of the base and simply multiplying it with the exponent.
Bye,
Chris
