Performance

[Herr Witten]

Thanks. However, the number of numbers grows according to the user, so 
I think I'm going to use an array of allocated mpf's that can be used. 
In fact, it may be a good feature to add to gmp: The number of 
preallocated numbers can be specified and then init methods could 
simply grab one.
