I've opened a separate issue (issue 4258) for the idea of using 30-bit
long digits instead of 15-bit ones.  I'll remove the patch from this 
issue.

Pernici Mario's idea applies even better to base 2**30 longs:  one can
clump together 16 (!) of the multiplications at once, essentially
eliminating the overhead of shifts almost completely.
