+  In the case of the original expmod implementation, square and remainder

+  with the above way, we do a series of squaring and then in the end take
+  remainder. Squaring of big numbers are very inefficient as the CPU has to
+  do multi-byte arithmetic which consumes many cycles.
+
+  So the new version is several times slower than the original.
