Ruby uses its own implementation of Bignum.  I'm not sure what FP
stands for.  Some suggest me to use better algorithm, or better
implementation such as GMP.  But I couldn't use GMP for its licensing
issues.  If some one comes up with his better Bignum implementation
patch, I'd be happy to apply it.
