Peter, An inconclusive 10% improvement and profiling has skewed towards BigInteger.Remainder() - 46% and BigInteger.SquareMonty() - 25%. I will need to run more tests to gather conclusive stats.
I am tempted to try outsourcing the BigInteger methods to OpenCL.

Hi Alex, I cannot offer you exact numbers, but there were definitely some significant improvements to the BigInteger.ModPow performance (including faster MultiplyMonty and less calls to it) after 1.7, so I would expect it at least worth a try. Perhaps if you manage to measure an improvement, you could report back to the list on the results.
