Hi, only to clarify I have wrongly mentioned 999,999,999 in place of ...much
much smaller 10,000,000.
It is for primes < 10,000,000 that my LaTeX multicols template produced a pdf
of 1357 pages, 10 columns per page, primes from top to bottom.
(and in a private mail to you I said 100,000,000 which was again wrong, sorry
for all the confusion...)
The pages are produced at a rythme of about 20 pages per second on my machine.
I launched it for 999,999,999 but CTRL-Ced it after about 16,000 pages,
realizing that it would grow to probably about 100,000 pages and take for this
more than one hour (this is only typesetting phase, producing a text file with
the primes took about 10mns).

This run was done with the primes already available in an external input « text
» file (one prime per line). This external file of circa 500Mo costed last week
about 10mn30s to produce on my machine (old 2Ghz ) (about 6mns to compute the
prime fontdimen array, and about 5mns to convert it into the file with explicit
digits).
The above interrupted PDF opens in my pdf viewerafter a somewhat longish
wait... and I sadly discover on page 11759 that once primes exceed 100,000,000,
they overlap due to there not being enough rooms in the columns. As I did not
adujst appropriately the page margins...
Anyway, nice that I could CTRL-C the lualatex job and get a working pdf.
