I  really  am  going to have to switch over to the new version of GMP.  I ran
two tests (computing 10^5 factorial was the first one, and computing  it  and
then  converting  the  result  to  ASCII  was  the  second).   For  just  the
computation, the new GMP is 24% faster.  The conversion to  ASCII  was  about
the same speed.
