One and a half hours. Ho hum. This would be encouragement to convert to multi-precision routines written in assembler so as to take maximum advantage of the available arithmetic - say base
And as before, all denunciations of "composite" were made by the first MR probe. This rather suggests that a speedier version could choose special values such as BIGBASE or BIGBASE - 1, for which special cases faster calculations can be done, and only if they fail to offer a definite report would other numbers be tried. As for checking a factor by explicit division, for these candidates, no factor was a small number once past the initial small numbers.
