@arvidn arvidn commented Nov 12, 2021

the mpz_import and mpz_export functions are quite a bit slower than the num-bigint counterparts, so this slows down the benchmarks somewhat.

The rationale for this is:

  1. use more main-stream code, with lower security risks
  2. (possibly) use the same instance of libgmp as we already use in chiavdf and bls-signatures
