Oh, but I still plan to investigate those allocation numbers a bit more to give a more exhaustive explaination (or even fix them)! But I've already got a few ideas where to look: For instance,for the old integer-gmp I did that trick to to avoid single-limb allocations (by using a C stack-allocated temp buffer instead) so much as to avoid them altogether, and I may have lost some of those opportunities due to the different design.
