[viff-devel] What to benchmark

[Sigurd Torkel Meldgaard]

I have made a quick change of the field-implementation so that it uses
gmpy instead of internal longs, and it seems that for integers in the
interval we usually use (~64 bits) it actually runs a bit slower (a
equality test took 808 ms. instead of 767), I made a run with a modulo
with 300 bits, and gmpy showed some speedup (965 ms. against 1199
ms.).
All where tests done locally on camel12.

I attach the patch if you want to play with it - maybe there is a much
better way to do the interfacing.
