Is this speed improvement for LL tests only or will I also see a
factoring improvement?

LL and P-1 factoring will be faster.  Trial factoring will be unchanged.

Subject: Mersenne: PrimeNet server unavailable?

Anyone else having trouble reaching the PrimeNet server?  Several of my
clients have been unable to check in for several days, although some did
manage last night.  At the moment it looks as though the clients are
attempting TCP port 80 connections to 66.45.51.160 (no rDNS), which fail.
