I may have inadvertently misled you.  Here is a simple linear
formulation that uses recursion:

    typedef  unsigned long long  NN;

    static NN fibonacci_3( NN, NN, unsigned );

    NN
    fibonacci( unsigned n ){
        return  fibonacci_3( 1, 0, n );
    }

    NN
    fibonacci_3( NN a, NN b, unsigned n ){
        return  n == 0  ? b  :  fibonacci_3( b, a+b, n-1 );
    }

Can you apply this idea to your logarithmic scheme?

Yes, the log(n) can be beaten by simpler schemes for small n.

I wrote a (recursive) log(n) fibonacci in python.  It was able
to compute fibonacci( 10000000 ) in just under 3 seconds.
