Yes - on the principle that it's worthwhile to spend 5% to 10% of the
LL testing time attemptimg to fi
all,
Thanks to Brian J Beesley, and Peter Lawrence for the info on why my whole
2 simultanious tests idea wouldn't work.
Just an idea that ran through my sleep deprived brain...

If I recall correctly, doesn't the factoring code use floating point
routines on the faster CPUs?

It has been mentioned several times recently that factoring is all integer
work, and LL testing is nearly all floating point.
It is my understanding that on intel CPU's, these are done on separate parts of
the CPU. Would it increase net performance to do factoring and LL assignments
