I thought I would try factoring some small exponents
Version 23.1 seems to be stable enough to use although its really still
Beta software.
I've not run the full QA suite as I have more changes planned. The Windows

is available at ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/p95v231.zip If there is interest
I'll make a Linux version available too.
Only P4
In case you are interested here are the before and after benchmarks for
my own P4 Northwood:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.60GHz
CPU speed: 2311.52 MHz
L2 cache size: 512 KB
Prime95 version 22.10, RdtscTiming=1
Best time for 384K FFT length: 17.123 ms.
Best time for 448K FFT length: 20.686 ms.
Best
