In IF decryption, two large powmods are done, one mod p and one mod q. Spawn
one of them off in a new thread and compute the other on the current thread.
Performance on my Core2 shows a 60 to 90% improvement in overall speed in
RSA private key operations. Will probably be even better once std::async
is available (not currently in GCC) since it will probably use a thread pool
which will amortize the thread creation/shutdown cost.
