Hi everyone, Apologies to butt in, and maybe this is a very stupid suggestion, but is the added complexity and potential for data race-introduced bugs worth the added efficiency over (for example) a ConcurrentMap<Long, BigInteger> with a key of "radix << 32 | exponent" ? It is clearly not as efficient, but it does have the virtue that even mere mortals like myself can understand that it is safe code, and maybe it is "good enough" :-) Best, Steven
