The optimal breakeven point for factoring vs. LL testing
changes every time the factoring code or LL code changes.
In the old days, the breakeven point was 2^56, now its 2^57.

You must be running version 17, otherwise you are just
repeating the previous test. When you're using the automatic
method the server won't assign double-checks to a version 16
client, but when using the web pages the server just trusts you.
