  Is calling mpz_get_string a significant overhead vs calling gmp_printf()?

I am not aware of any function called mpz_get_string.  Perhaps you mean
mpz_get_str?

Is your question whether gmp_printf is faster than mpz_get_str and then
significantly so?

Since gmp_printf calls mpz_get_str for its integer output, the former
function will hardly be faster than the latter function.
