Ideas to speed up PaillierTest ?

Any ideas on how to speed up PaillierTest?

Is the bottleneck in BigInter.multiply(BigInteger) or is the KeyGeneration ?

The time spent in Paillier encryption/decryption is proportional to the
modulus size.

The Paillier test takes a while due to the scalability test in
'testPaillierWithKeyGenerationBitSetOption' in which large moduli sizes are
tested. Unless we take out this method (which we shouldn't do), we just
have to wait. When working with the code, we are using surefire so
excluding the test is an option.

We have done some benchmarking on the encryption/decryption operations -- I
put a JIRA issue in to quantify/qualify directly and plan to complete it
soon. The two most expensive operations that we currently perform are the
modular exponentiation and modular multiplication. We are using JNAGMP to
help with modular exponentiation and I just put in a JIRA to take a closer
look at modular multiplication (this was already on the radar, just
formalizing it).
