Help with arbitrary precision arithmetic

I'm currently working on trying to find the prime factorization of
100 - 500 digit integers (for the RSA challange) and have written
a number of routines using a SUN arbitrary precision language tool.
However, that language does not support a number of features that I
will need, and therefore I must write arbitrary arithmetic procedures.
What I need help with is an integer division algorithm. I have written
one but it is horribly inefficient. My implementation is with arrays.
I think my other routines (+,-,*, and others) are fairly efficient, but
I could use help with any and all of them.
Is my implementation fastest? should I use linked lists? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
