Closes #1213
bindings: o1-labs/o1js-bindings#235
This adds a faster TS implementation of the field inverse algorithm.
Instead of the classical Extended Euclidian Algorithm, we use the state-of-the-art algorithm from https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/972.pdf. It benefits from doing most of the work in a tight loop which only operates on a few JS numbers with bit shifts and similar small operations, instead of doing lots of costly bigint modulos.
Note: Code changes mostly in the bindings PR
Results
Further work
The inverse could still be sped up a lot by moving to wasm (1000-5000ns are known to be possible). However, I think it has hit diminishing returns at least until we make the Rust/wasm prover much faster.
