Mersenne: Factoring

[Sander Hoogendoorn]

Hi,

Last weekend when i was testing Prime 95 i noticed that factoring low 
numbers took much longer as high numbers.
Factoring M17XXX from 2^52 to 2^54 took minutes per pass while factoring 
M9XX from 2^52 to 2^54 took about one minute to complete the whole 
factoring. How is this possible?

This page also shows that the number of inactive accounts is raising 
harder then the active accounts. Since the last newsletter was from may 
22 (or did i miss one?) it might be a good idea for a new one to wake 
all these people because not all people who are testing are members of 
this mailing list
