 Speed improvements of 3 to 8% can be expected for Athlon, Duron, Pentium 3,
 and Celeron 2 owners.

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.

Mersenne: version 23.5

is a beta release, but should work OK.

Four or five changes have been added to reduce the chance of another
false prime report.
