An example:

? p=nextprime(2^1200);E=ellinit([1,5],p);ellap(E)
%5 = -6406302751743670778436449985059273221847339658151681884226689558480131779196962880021436806438460746120382135677025301722355718942715320150690927385821748846184438904805661975226027

(this involves the computation of modular polynomials in gamma_2 up to degree 719,
which using the parallel version is done relatively quickly on multiple cores)

Cheers,
