After a first glimpse, I noted these:

1) GenericGFPoly evaluateAt: does not set the result in the loop...
2) why using an OrderedCollection for the coefficients ? an Array is faster.
   same for exp and log tables of GenericGF
3) GenericGF>>multiply:scalar: you changed <= size into < size but
shouldn't...
