Comment:

 I'm not sure about precomputation in general, but it's pretty easy to do
 for the create cell case.  I have a not-quite-complete branch in
 `pregen_curve25519` that might make it look worthwhile.

 Why is this branch incomplete?
    * It needs to start calling cpu_init() unconditionally, like #13737
 does.
    * It may break some tests.
    * Linking isn't quite right.
