So that's about 5 microseconds on my (slow) computer.
That's pretty fast. So is there still a need for a GMP python-binding like
gmpy? http://code.google.com/p/gmpy/wiki/IntroductionToGmpy
GMP can include optimized assembler for the CPU you're using. But
I guess it needs more memory. Hence disk-swapping could be an issue
on performance.
