Description

We should ensure that verbosity messages never try to print BIG values.

I'm trying to compute the radical of a large ideal, and the first verbosity(99) message prints out the ideal (about 240Mbytes).

Also the other day I removed some verbosity messages from inside a loop (which could perform thousands of iterations).

Remember that even if verbosity level is 0 the conversion of the values to printable form is still performed!
(you could argue that that is a bug in the design...)

As hinted in the main description, we should also try to limit the amount of output (unless it is important to be able to see it, sometimes).
We can also use the clumsier *if (VerbosityLevel() >= 90) { /*print info*/ }
