I found a method to prefetch the variable into the cache by
__builtin_prefetch (&variable, 0, 3)

But I am not sure, how i can prefetch a mpz_t-variable by this construction
in the cache. Has anyone experience with a prefetch and gmp-variable ?

Do you know whether i have to switch on gcc by -fbuiltin ?

Nice Greetings
