Hi Janos,

I've seen worse expansions...

<< "DiscreteMath`"
f[s_] = s^s*(1 - s)^(1 - s)*Sin[Pi*s];

Timing[Expand /@ Series[f[s], {s, 1/2, 12}]]

Out[3]=
{0.344946*Second,
SeriesData[s, 1/2, {1/2, 0, 1 - Pi^2/4, 0, 5/3 - Pi^2/2 + Pi^4/48, 0,
46/15 - (5*Pi^2)/6 + Pi^4/24 - Pi^6/1440, 0, 2057/315 - (23*Pi^2)/15 + 
(5*Pi^4)/72 - Pi^6/720 + Pi^8/80640, 0, 4954/315 - (2057*Pi^2)/630 + 
(23*Pi^4)/180 - Pi^6/432 + Pi^8/40320 - Pi^10/7257600, 0, 6469598/155925 
- (2477*Pi^2)/315 + (2057*Pi^4)/7560 - (23*Pi^6)/5400 + Pi^8/24192 - 
Pi^10/3628800 + Pi^12/958003200}, 0, 13, 1]}

Peter
