It is more like n days work left (where n is configurable) get new work
New work not tested for P-1 factors then first do P-1 factoring, as we know
that this is done relatively fast and we cannot guarantee that we will have
work
after P-1 factoring (you may even find a factor!). No more exponents without
p-1 factoring -> continue with first item in worktodo list (i.e. the old
work)
