Is it just me, or does factoring smaller Mersenne numbers take
propotionally much longer? I would expect M727 to be much faster than
the 33M range to a fixed depth, yet the opposite _seems_ to be true.
Ofcourse, I can't be sure about this, because the real complaint I have
is that factoring numbers to depths beyond the "default" seems nearly
impossible. The manual factoring assignment seems like the only
possibility to force these, yet it doesn't work like the normal
factoring (Doing one bit depth at time) and is a pain on a dual-CPU
machine. Is it possible we'd get a third parameter to the Factor=
work-line specifying the intended depth for the factorization? Also,
usually for some reason Prime95 seems to reject most (all?) Factor=
statements I've tried, could we get some more detailed instructions on
this?
