Thank you guys for the thoughts about improing the code!

mpz_remove worked like a charm and also allowed the code to be much 
simplified! The very specific benchmarks (depending on the environment) 
had their runtime decreased to 60-90% - with being much more simple, too.

I still wonder about my other part of the mail - are the "ui" methods 
considered to be generally faster? In this case the documentation should 
definitely point that out.

Thanks again,
Simon
