Stage 2 factor = 1 So on my machine the stage 1 gcd saved me 2 stage 2, so about 2 hour of cpu, but at the cost of about 90 * 230 sec of stage 1 gcd = 20700sec or 5:45 hours. Seems to me that we could save a little bit by forgoing stage 1 gcd. regards, David Campeau

I got the idea to do some factoring with my now slower-than-average machine (a P133), but I don't want to factor at the current assignments (in the 9M range); instead I would like to fill up the factor limits of small exponents to some common value (56 bits or 58 bits or so). Of course, doing
