RE: Mersenne: Re: Mersenne Digest V1 #757

[Willmore, David (VS Central)]

All benchmarks say is that "It's good for *this* application".  I've heard
that it speeds up mersenne calculations on some MBs.  Now, that's nice, but
if it doesn't speed it up enough vs its cost.....  That's the question.

I'm just going to hold my breath for DDR-SDRAM.  Cheaper, faster, better
supported. Dual Athlon/interleaved DDR memory.  Hold on to your hats....
