I know that I can compute e quickly by using the Taylor series with the
binary splitting.
I there any fast algorithm for computing e^e to high precision?

e^e = e sum_{k=0}^infty b_k /k!

where is the k'th Bell number. These are integers that can be
computed e.g. using the recurrence
b_{k+1} = sum_{j=0}^k (k choose j) b_j.
