					|  |  |  | 1a. Choose the optimal digit size (intDsize). This is fundamental. On 32-bit | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |     platforms intDsize=32 is best. On 64-bit platforms intDsize=64 may be | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |     better, especially if there is a 64x64-bit multiplication in hardware. |

 | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  | 2. Tune GMP. | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  | 1b. Alternatively, tune GMP. When GMP is used, CLN's digit size (intDsize) has | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |     to match GMP's limb size (sizeof(mp_limb_t)). There is nothing to do at the | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |     CLN side: The configure script will take care of intDsize automatically. |
