[pypy-issue] [issue819] Arithmetic is slower than CPython in extreme cases

[Stian Andreassen]

Stian Andreassen <stian at tech1.org> added the comment:

2**num is 50 times faster using improvements available here:
https://bitbucket.org/_stian/pypy-improvebigint

It also closes the gap between cPython and pypy by about 50% when it comes to
general pow and mul operations.
