6622432 is the one of the ones I just pointed to i.e. it's in JDK7. If Alan has a further patch and hasn't even submitted it for inclusion, it's obviously not in.

I had just queried Joe Darcy at Sun about reviewing my patches for 

Karatsuba and Toom-Cook multiplication in BigInteger again last week. His reply was:

"Yes, I apologize again for the repeated delays; I want to get your 

Karatsuba work reviewed and integrated within this JDK 7 milestone (the next few weeks)."

 So I'm hopeful.  So far, I haven't heard of any substantive issues 

with the patches. They were mostly stylistic.

 As I've stated before, I also have patches that greatly improve the 

performance of pow() and toString() (by orders of magnitude) that I have been holding on to for a long time, and hoping to submit after the multiplication patches are approved. (I was asked by Joe Darcy to submit in smaller patches.) Hopefully these might get in JDK 7 too.
