Many recent double-check assignments involve a second round of factoring because (a) the trial-factoring breakpoints are higher now than they were when the first L-L test was assigned, and/or (b) P-1 factoring had not yet been implemented in Prime95 when they were assigned for initial L-L tests. Consequent elimination of once-L-Led Mnumbers by second-round factoring would account for some of the difference, though I doubt there've been 30,000. In addition, some folks have concentrated on factoring Mnumbers that have been L-L tested but not yet DC'd, specifically in order to reduce the number of necessary double-checks. _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
