## Advanced Installation Options

By default `CoCoALib` allows quite polynomials of quite high degree (e.g. typically beyond 1000000). If you are sure that degrees will remain small (e.g. below 1000) then you might obtain better performance by editing the source file `include/CoCoA/config.H` so that the `typedef` for `SmallExponent_t` is `unsigned short` instead of `unsigned int`. But beware that CoCoALib does not generally check for exponent overflow during polynomial arithmetic!
