Btw, already the naive O~(prec^(3/2)) algorithm *does* improve things,
e.g, for elleta([1,I]):

Before:
\p10000   ->        1,740 ms
\p100000  -> 8min, 59,478 ms.
\p1000000 -> stopped after 10h

After:
\p10000   ->           52 ms
\p100000  ->        3,508 ms
\p1000000 -> 1min, 59,596 ms.

Cheers,

    K.B.
