Mersenne: Speeding Up The Speediest Yet

[Scott Gibbs]

Dear Base:   By a twist of extraordinary luck I procured a 3GHz. P IV with 1 GByte of RAM which translates to 12 possible 1 million candidate tests per year.   But I found a way to accelerate this behemoth even more!     By installing the www.memokit.com memory optimizer and setting the priority of PRIME95 to REALTIME, I brought the .081 spec down to .063 at the very top of the Benchmark list.       Every little smidgin counts, eh?     Best Wishes, Stefanovic
