Hey thanks.
I'll try to play around with the settings to get your code to compile when I
get some time.
On my System76 Gazelle laptop, with I7-6700HQ, 2.6-3.5GHz, 16GB ram, running in
a VB VM for Manjaro KDE, using Nim 0.17.0 compiled with: **$ nim c --cc:clang
--d:release ssozp5.nim**
I get these times, running on a noisy system (multiple browsers, et al, open)
for the sequential version of SSoZ using P5 prime generator.
[jzakiya@jabari-pc nim]$ time ./ssozp
