it wasn't a fake argument at all. Your claim was that these Core 2 benchmarks of Case's show that MPIR is only faster for multiplication above 100000 digits and nothing else. But that is completely *false*, (his benchmarks didn't show that at all - you lied, and his benchmarks only included a small selection of things). Amazing how you just *completely ignored* the next_prime benchmark he printed (let alone the other timings that were faster). Oh, and there just happens to be around 800 lines of new code in MPIR for the next_prime function! I suppose you are going to tell me you have a 10 line patch to make that fast in GMP too, are you? As Case checked, it returns the same answer as GMP up to 100,000,000,000. So I very much doubt we are cheating! Come on then, out with it. Where's your 10 line patch for that one? I'll accept it even if it only checks primality up to 64 bits! See how generous I am!
