I did look at this a little this morning, and it appears that the hashing code may be up to 10% of the runtime. Most of the time is spent in the expmod, and that is not going to be optimized a whole lot better than with GMP. So I never deemed the ROI on put SIMD into the clean and easy to read code as being a priority.
I got your point. I'll lower the priority of tackling this format then.

(sorry for my poor English) What do you mean by 'limb'? Do you mean each 512-bit data block?
