  GMP-6.1.2: 8.8s
  
  Now it is clearer, right? The difference is not that small between GMP
  and mlucas.
  
OK. so for at least one operation on one computer, mlucas is 62% faster
than GMP.  That's a very signiicant difference.

But it is not clear what you're measuring.  When I multiply numbers of
around 700000 bits using GMP on a 5 year old Intel Ivy Bridge, it takes
0.0028s, a far cry from your 26 minutes.

But perhaps you really intend to say that you measure 700000 *word*
operands?  Then GMP needs 0.36s.
