Optimizations?

From the task description:

Only numbers less than one sextillion 1021 will be considered in/for this task.
This will allow optimizations to be used.

I am mildly curious as to what optimizations this refers to. Maybe I am missing something, but I am failing to how limiting to one sextillion offers any way to optimize. Not so big a deal for the Perl 6 example as it counts the *-ban numbers up to one sextillion 3 times in less than a second (on my system). I just wonder if I am missing something. --Thundergnat (talk) 21:06, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
