I wrote this fast implementation for PE problems as well, but mostly for SOLSTRAS challenge at spoj.pl. It is based on "memoryless" variant of the sieve of Eratosthenes (over priority queue). I heard that sieve of Atkins may be much faster, but cannot investigate it right now. A good test may be to diff primes64 output with the output of current primes program from bsdgames package, then testing difference by Miller-Rabin.
