Perhaps. I've not done a lot of comparisons, although I'm certainly no
expert in numerical programming, so chances that GNU MP is (loads)
faster than my code are pretty high.

The reason no library was used is that we really don't want a lot of
dependencies in the Verse core code, it makes porting, distributing
and maintaining it more painful.

I guess it's Eskil's decision if we are to switch to some external
code for the maths stuff.
