I haven't tried anything quite that low-end, but the couple
of MIPS routers I've tried at ~400mhz take about 1 second
for that step. I guess there could be something odd about
the architecture that interacts badly with what libtommath
is doing, or perhaps the compiler. The binary was built with
optimisation enabled?
