a last update: MPFR now uses the Von Staudt=E2=80=93Clausen theorem to comp= ute Bernoulli numbers (thanks to Fredrik Johansson for pointing out this formul= a). On my computer, computing gamma(Pi^2) to 10000 bits takes about 1.4s (for t= he first computation, when Bernoulli numbers are not cached) instead of 6.1s w= ith Pari/GP.
