Note that M(n) has no known factors.
Trying this out just now, the 111 MB of data that I have for prime
exponent Mersennes in the mersfmt reduces to a bit under 20 MB if this
format is used for only the prime exponents with known factors. Gzip
(using max compression) gets that down to 7.1 MB.
Producing & gzip'ing it from the mersfmt of the data takes only a
couple of minutes on my machine, so adding it to the automatic update
won't slow things down enough to notice.
A quick line count of ungzip'd file (about 2 seconds, from cache:)
produces a count of 1,677,377 known factors of prime exponent Mersenne
numbers (that aren't completely factored).
