Just curious, what kind of embedded system were you working on that required arbitrary precision numbers, and where it was acceptable for the system to stall for 40 seconds during a calculation?

The ModExp was used for cryptographic authentication, and only ran once per session or once when pairing. IIRC it was a battery BLE device.
