I would prefer that it use Brent, since that makes it easier for those who might benefit from the algorithm to make an apples-to-apples comparison when looking at different language implementations. At the very least the implementer should identify which algorithm they are using. The performance characteristics can vary considerably among algorithms.

: When performance is critical it's probably best to not use an algorithm which uses O(1) space. (On the other hand, performance is usually not critical.) --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 16:15, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
