Creal implements *exact* real arithmetic (i.e. all computations are
exact and digits are computed later on demand). This is not to be used
when efficiency is really needed, but only when exactness is.
As Brian already suggested, arbitrary precision floats from the GMP
library may be useful in your situation (but as far as I remember,
this part of GMP is not (yet) interfaced in mlgmp.)
