It takes time to convert a number from 128 bits to 256 bits. Also, Boost does 
something like 4 128 bit multiplications internally in the 256 bit 
multiplication function (so it makes sense for it to be at least 4x slower). I 
think the 256 bit multiplication function is also not optimized for the worst 
case (where the result actually needs more than 128 bits).

Also, it takes time to convert 2 numbers to 256 bit numbers and then convert 1 
number back.

I don't think it's that surprising that it's much slower. 256 bit 
multiplication is slow and is not implemented in hardware like others.

Remember, this benchmark is the absolute worst case scenario, where we do a 256 
bit multiplication for every row.
