The computation for gravitational slingshots shouldn't be very extreme. It's straightforward, but would require a fair amount of data. Once out of a star's system, it should be easier to slingshot around stars than planets.
That would be pretty neat if we could ping pong our way somewhere else doing that. Assuming there were enough rogue planets sitting there in the dark. Below a certain density it doesn't offer much but above a certain density it would be a goldmine. I would assume we could gain speed with each slingshot
