CMU's December 2005 discovery (9.1 million digits) took 5 days to confirm. The post on mersenne.org says: "Verification will begin shortly, probably taking a week or so to complete." If this is taking 28% longer to confirm, either the confirmation machine is much slower (always a possibility), or the number is bigger. Here's hoping for "bigger".
