Yes, it **must** be opt-in. However I'm not sure that a tuning knob will be necessary. BigInteger has thresholds for using different multiply algorithms and these are also not configurable.

Those thresholds are the result of *many* JMC runs on multiple platforms. That said, there is an issue on file to reevaluate them someday [1].
