Comment(by zimmerma):

 > Except for special cases, "pow" uses log and exp, so the timing should
 essentially be the sum for these two functions. Is it possible that you
 hit a corner case with your experiments, or are the timings consistent
 over several arguments?

 then we should get about 210us for powint instead of 549us. Indeed, it
 would be good to know the
 exact arguments, so that we can try to reproduce with vanilla MPC (maybe
 the problem is in the
 interface between Sage and MPC).

 For division, GMP 5 has a much faster division, which might benefit to MPC
 too. But again, we
 could investigate more with a vanilla MPC, if we know the exact inputs
 used (with
 exact_rational).
