GMP's Speed

  All of my numbers are in the class mpz and I am only using mpz

  functions, i could possibly just extract the source code for the
  functions I need from gmplib and compile tem directly inside my
  program. Would I stand to gain anything from this?
  
Yes and no.

"Yes" because I am sure you can put together a faster program.
"No" because I don't think mere inlining will gain much.

If your numbers < 2^64, forget GMP and use 'long' on a 64-bit machine
(unless you're stuck with M$ systems where 'long' is always 32 bits).
