GMP arthimetic operations

As we know GMP is the most popular tool for handling laarge intergers... i have two questions regarding GMP.. 1.how does internal calculations will be done in GMP library.? suppose if one integer of two bytes,another of three bytes what are the operations performed internally on those raw bits!?? 2.How does performance speed is high for GMP than other general libraries!?

thanks in advance.. For me to know these about these things is much important for my project

A: 

This page (http://www.cims.nyu.edu/cgi-systems/info2html?%28gmp%29Algorithms) describes the algorithms GMP uses for its operations.

Also, the GMP library is open source so you can download and look for yourself.
