 As the MPC Sage code is written right now, calls are made to mpz_pow_si,
 mpz_pow_z, or mpz_pow, depending on the type of argument.  Each of these
 are still 5-6 slower than Sage's complex number type.

 I mean: each of these calls (mpz_pow[_si|_z]) results in operations that
 are 5-6 times as long as Sage's complex type (~35 microseconds vs. ~200
 microseconds).
