Comment (by robertwb):

 Thanks for looking at this. I've attached a new patch that should address
 your comments. The type checking has been pulled out of the main loop
 which addresses 1 and 2, which was actually an issue in the old code as
 well. (Note that isinstance will be a fast typecheck in the next release
 of Cython).

 As for (3), there is no reason to put _sig_on/_sig_of around mpz_cmp_ui.
 These signal handlers are used for long-running code (where one wants to
 be able to intercept control-C) or code that might raise other
 signals/abort. mpz_cmp_ui is not such a function (in fact, it's a simple
 macro).
