Hmm, I assumed mpf had a complete set of operations. Are they just not implemented, or is mpf that useless?
Since mpf uses mpn as much as mpq, all operations should be about equally fast...

Gmp.mpf seems to be lacking in the sqrt()/pow() departement, which makes it hard to use for the guass-legrende PI formula.
Also, Gmp.mpq has some nice optimizations for dealing with operations where one of the operands is a small integer which makes it quite a bit faster.
