[m-users.] Too Slow

Hi Peter,

thanks for your comments. I have now simplified the C code as you
suggested.

ok, I use mp_get_long_long now

ok, I chose the lazy solution to convert to string and then use
from_string to get the correct value. But isn't this a problem in int.m,
too?

,----
| abs(Num, Abs) :-
|     ( Num < 0 ->
|         Abs = 0 - Num
|     ;
|         Abs = Num
|     ).
`----

This results in 0 for min_int.

Best regards,
Matthias
